[Verse 1]

The sudden loss of hope

The burden of endless suffering

Immense weight upon the soul

And the world which passes by

[Chorus]

No hope for a higher power

No angels, no wings to protect

Only darkness that lurks all around

The blissful voice from the abyss

The abyss

[Verse 2]

In the grip of the festering pain

That thaws the anger within

False teachings stripped from truth

Eroded words from eroded worlds

[Outro]

Benevolent, malevolent

Why do we seek in the past?

Vainglorious as we are

Into torture and bliss

We are a litany of errors

Still blessed and yet so cursed

We don't deserve our place

In history, in time
