[Intro]

Ahhh

Ahhh

Ahhh

Ahhh


[Verse 1]

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 adrift at sea

Yeah, yeah!

Yeah, yeah!

Yeah, yeah!

Yeah!


[Verse 2]

Catatonic state, it sharpens life's depressing edge

The clamor draws me closer to the ledge

As I gaze upon this burning world I curse this life

A life through which I'm hurled


[Verse 3]

Lies, lies upon this side and that

Truthless violence deception mourned by the wise

Thousands of voices drowning out his own

In a popular torrent of lies upon lies

Turn to stone

Yeah!


[Verse 4]

So intense the pain that has crawled

From the bleeding corpse of pleasure

That feeds the worm the 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, ohh


[Instrumental Break]


[Chorus]

Torn between life and death

Inertia fills my soul

No will to be nor pride to care

The reapers take your toll

Strangers cast a menacing glance as

Existence I defy

Shatter their dreamlike world

I'm not afraid to die


[Instrumental Break]

Ahh!

Yeah!


[Chorus]

Torn between life and death

Inertia fills my soul

No will to be nor pride to care

The reaper takes your toll

Strangers cast a menacing glance as

Existence I defy

Shatter their dreamlike world

I'm not afraid to die

Not afraid to die!


[Instrumental Break]


[Bridge]

Omen bird soars the desert land

To the castle of idolence

There lies the shadow of a man

See the colored flowers and marble towers

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


[Outro]

Ohhh! Ohhh!

Ohhh!

Ohhh! Ohhh!

Woahhh, ohh!

Ohhh! Ohhh!

Ohh! Ohhh!

Ohh! Ohhh!

Ohhh! Ohhh!

Ohh! Ohhh!

Ohh! Ohhh!

Ohhh! Ohhh!

Ohh! Ohhh!...
