The Depths Of Despair (Interlude)

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
Chorused 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
