Lyrics

Solace and Serenity

It's not the dying that hurts
It's the waiting to die
Crippled existence
Fire fueled with gasoline
Life is beautiful, the world is pristine
We have been bound unseen
The walls of existence remain unclean
No solace, no safety
Remain calm; we lack serenity
No burn
We all slowly decay
Slowly decay
The final sores have opened
Weeping wounds
It's worse than we were hoping
Seeking doom
We built a dungeon but we locked ourselves in
Now we are the monsters dripping with sin
No solace, no safety
Remain calm; we lack serenity
No burn
We all slowly decay
Slow decay of reality
Left floating somewhere God will never find
Left floating somewhere God will never find
Slow decay
Left floating somewhere God will never find
Left floating somewhere God will never find
(In the beginning it is always dark)
Gravity takes over and we fall
May God have mercy on us all
