Epitaph Bonus

Isolation freezes my life, coldness grips my heart
Trapped within a world, a world apart
Desolate am I, a tempest raging silently
Lost, a barren soul adrift at sea

Catatonic state, it sharpens life's depressing edge
The clamor it draws me closer to the ledge
As I gaze upon this burning world, I curse this life
A life through which I'm hurled
Lies, lies upon this side and that
Senseless violence, deception mourned by the wise
Thousands of voices drowning out his own
In a popular torrent of lies upon lies
Turn to stone

So intense the pain that has crawled
From the bleeding corpse of pleasure
That feeds the worm that writhes
Inside my brain
In the deep of night it stirs again
In the heart of the sleeper
From the crack of dawn I wake to curse
The rising of the sun
Every life is built on hope
Now my dreams have surely passed
Inner voices haunt my numbered days
Darkness calls me with her laughs

Torn between life and death, inertia fills my soul
No will to be nor pride to care, reapers take your toll
Strangers cast a menacing glance as existence I defy
Shatter their dream-like world, we're all born to die

Torn between life and death, inertia fills my soul
No will to be nor pride to care, the reapers take their toll
Strangers cast a menacing glance as existence I defy
Shatter their dream-like world, we're all born to die

Omen bird soars the desert land, to the castle of violence
There lies a shadow of a man
You see the marble towers and colored flowers
They fade to brown
Like the unknown inscribed in stone
He's abandoned, abandoned flesh and bones
He's lost in silence, swallowed in vastness
Drowned in the depths of a meaningless past
