Death comes down Disease holding hands with death As paranoia suffocates us War shreds all within its path Enthroned hatred originates Bodies paving ruined streets Drowning in a grave of lies Rising towards impending doom Ed by children's cries Can someone tell me where to look Amidst this madness A world surrendered to the void Engulfed by wings, oh so black As I decay Absent solace From a world So devious As blood spills on these pages Imprisoning ghosts inside my head Holding on by a single thread I weep for the songs of old The passing of the ages Weighs the cross I have to bear For these fears have me ensnared Trapped inside a life so cold Violence dictates a world Of souls living in vain Madness takes its toll For all the hope that has been slain I decay Destined countdown Shrouded in anguish Absent forgiveness Can someone tell me where to look Amidst this madness A world surrendered to the void Engulfed by wings, oh so black And so I feel Within my core Death is alive For evermore
