[Verse 1]

Arms have stretched beyond their reach

Craving for a false perfection

Safe

Under self-deception's wing

Craving for a false protection

Illusion is solace

Reflection is pain

Illusion is solace

Reflection is pain

[Refrain]

Nothing loved, nothing lost

Nothing tried, nothing lost

[Pre-Chorus]

I called on despair to guide me

Summoned the cold again

I bit from the grapes of seduction

Because reflection is pain

I called on despair to guide me

Summoned the cold again

I bit from the grapes of seduction

Because reflection is pain (Is pain)

[Chorus]

This is my wasteland

Empire without a king

Where resignation rules

Slaying the wolf within

[Refrain]

Nothing loved, nothing lost

Nothing tried, nothing lost

[Verse 2]

Illusion is knowledge!

Rest in peace!

Illusion is solace!

Rest in peace!

[Pre-Chorus]

I called on despair to guide me

Summoned the cold again

I bit from the grapes of seduction

Because reflection is pain!

I called on despair to guide me

Summoned the cold again

I bit from the grapes of seduction

Because reflection is pain! (Is pain)

[Chorus]

This is my wasteland

Empire without a king

Where resignation rules

Slaying the wolf within

Slaying the wolf within

Slaying the wolf within

[Outro]

I would rather sense

Nothing at all

Than sense

What is true
