Sheol

The certainty of death
Within ego takes shape
It's the fear of being forgotten

The maggots consume my body
Time erases the memory
And I cease to have ever existed

Cruel gift of ethics without recompense
Of violence without punishment
Of freedom in the lack of meaning

In denial I seek comfort
Make history in life?
Religion to give it reason?

Pain
Grief
Solace
Freedom

I'm just so tired of this broken place
Hear me

Joy is fleeting
Pain is constant
Oblivion is eternal

What to do with this urge?
The living know of their own end
But the dead do not know nothing

Soon I will no longer be
While this squalid world
Always was and always will be

Pain
Grief
Solace
Freedom

Cast without purpose in this lonely place
Lull me to slumber with your cold embrace
Save me

Joy is fleeting
Pain is constant
Oblivion is eternal

The living work and bleed
The dead rest
And the stillborn rejoice
For they know not of the injustice that is done under the Sun

Pain
Grief
Solace
Freedom

Cast without purpose in this lonely place
Guide me to freedom with your cold embrace
Take me

Joy is fleeting
Pain is constant
Oblivion is eternal

To keep on living, I play the fool
Lock it safe, and look away
Since I was a little child
Brooding
