Return to Dust

life withers away
and so do you
destined to expire
from dust to dust
polluted air sickens your lungs
breath by breath to the abyss
crushed by fear, controlled by death
caged thoughts from the dread of an aftermath
and at nightfall I can’t keep my demons at bay
all these thoughts playing tricks on my mind
building a nightmare I can’t evade
am I awake or am I asleep
what’s the reason, why am I so afraid?
why am I so afraid
and haunted by those dreams?
fragile
ephemeral
am I one of nature’s flaws?
sentenced and
unstable
I return to dust
it all leads to one horrid conclusion
return to dust
return to dust

weep for the world you knew
your utopia is at an end
weep for the world
look at the future, straight through my eyes
lands in shambles, once a paradise
clouded and faded, signs of demise
mankind reconstructs it’s misfortune
again and again and again
history repeats
dystopia casts its shadow
let the void consume your peace of mind
no more safety to rely on
we’re in an abusive fiction which is violent by design
fear is all that you feel
fear is all that you feel
in a society which is corroded from within
a grotesque version of what - of what could’ve been
no shelters, no appeal
fear is all that you feel

Pipe Dreams

take a glance at your so-called privilege
are your choices really yours?
nothing but ashes in your hands
slavery for the common man
and money can’t get you out now
this is the path we’ve tracked, this is the path we’re on
freedom is dead
nothing but a wish trapped in your head
could you walk away? could you fulfill your dreams?
with everything that’s attached? abandon what you need?
it’s might be a golden noose
but it’s nonetheless
a fucking noose
around your neck
a golden noose
hanging around your neck

Rhythm of Fear
02:25
|

|
cold sweat pours over my skin
shortness of breath and lethargy sets in
irrational fear destroys a sane man’s creation
with its sharp fangs deep in my flesh
illusions of mind
distorting the sight
a twisted road leading me astray
rhythm of fear is what makes you dance
your devil’s playing with a crooked hand
you cannot win cause you’re bound to lose
tunes full of blues are my daily groove
rhythm of fear
you’re bound to lose
a story of those who abandoned all hope
noises that just won’t leave
victim of deceit
reality is made in my head
thoughts build walls and they keep me trapped
rhythm of fear is what makes you dance
your devil’s playing with a crooked hand
you cannot win, you’re bound to lose
rhythm of fear
rhythm of fear

Born into Sin
03:59
|
|||
|
collective guilt
passed on generations
sins of our fathers
etched in narrow minds
hear, follow, listen; contribute to their abuse
hear, follow, listen; spread fear like a disease
for centuries a sanctuary
has turned into hell
like lambs to slaughter
setting our world ablaze
forever downwards
the spiral will never end
a bloodstained mire
inheritable cesspool
called life
born into sin
redeem your soul
we are born
into the sins
of our fathers
etched in minds
ignorance is bliss
for these times are plagued
burn all bridges - in the most inhumane manner
envy the blind - for they don’t see what comes
we are born
into the sins
of our fathers
born into sin
