Father, killer of all knowing
Bringer of endless births of suffering
Drag us through the rusty nails once again
And breathe that old stench of our slow decay
Building prisons within prisons
Trapped within ourselves in isolation
Time begets growth in these dying cells
The furtherance of hell to here on earth
If this life's your gift, its promise is death
Wrenching souls to dust in autumn air
Clogging lungs and breaking ribs
Starving the populace to chew at their limbs
And though our flesh transparent and bones in colourless form
Ghouls marching lockstep, consigned to history already told
Like giants in ivory towers, we eventually do fall
The demise of all we know and hold
The needled remedy we adorned
Means nothing to anything anymore
