Gospel of Despair

You want to suffer and I aim to please It hurts like no other and feeds this disease Human extinction is all that you dream We've all got to suffering a life that demeans This pain has fallen into the numb Berates never ending, looking at what we've become The flag of darkness has unfurled For the sake of twisted pleasure You destroy your world Pain and torture Thoughts are shattered in meaningless form Manipulation and desperation Is killing us all You won't get forgiveness for all that you've done And there is no freedom in this prison of one A solitary confinement you cannot escape Exist in denial, exist 'til you break This pain has fallen into the numb Berates never ending, looking at what we've become The flag of darkness has unfurled For the sake of twisted pleasure You destroy your world Pain and torture Thoughts are shattered in meaningless form Manipulation and desperation Is killing us all Evade yourself, degrade yourself again Deploy yourself against yourself In this war that's never ending Destroy yourself, despise yourself This pain has fallen into the numb Berates never ending, looking at what we've become The flag of darkness has unfurled For the sake of twisted pleasure You destroy your world

Looking at the world with a sense of disgust I don't know who I can trust Just another pack of lies Won't you ever learn? It'll lead you to your demise 'Cause what you get is what you've earned We won't last another hundred thousand years We won't last another hundred thousand years We bear the mark of this world And I'm hearing it everywhere No saviours' ark for this world This is the gospel of despair The impoverished lay dying whilst nothing gets done This is the era of the selfish ones Just another fake religion You're bowing down to Another Utopian vision That never comes true We won't last another hundred thousand years We won't last another hundred thousand years We bear the mark of this world And I'm hearing it everywhere No saviours' ark for this world This is the gospel of despair Can't they tell us where it all went wrong? And we've holding on for much too long The degradation of not being good enough to exist A fear of knowing that when you're gone you won't be missed We bear the mark of this world No saviours' ark for this world And I'm hearing it everywhere This is a reading from the gospel of despair

The graveyard of the mournful Sorrow is all we're ever known This melancholy overlord Destroys us from the inside I can't control my yesterdays Tomorrow always seems the same And I can't stand today Been abused through history The answers never come to me So we just feel the shame So dark, so desperate, so down So blind, so pathetic, we wear this crown We're the kings of all that's lost The monolith has made us this We're the kings of all that's lost The monolith has made us We're the kings of all that's lost Epitome of failure We know just who you are Emotional desolation Not knowing how to feel These memories are hard to bear I hear your voice but no-one’s there The words are in my head Holding onto misery This life will be the death of me So I just hide the pain So dark, so desperate, so down So blind, so pathetic, we wear this crown We're the kings of all that's lost The monolith has made us this We're the kings of all that's lost The monolith has made us We're the kings of all that's lost All we are is all we know and all we know are lies The kingdom of this fucking mess from which we cannot hide This golden age of useless fucks has trampled on our shells Despite their claims, these husks of skin Have nothing left to sell We're the kings of all that's lost

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

My birth sign was the mushroom cloud This collective human future fractured Another life, another death Another body laid to rest Another day, another lie Another fucked up way to die Can we end the suffering? Just by causing more Sympathy for the living It's a cross to bear Sympathy for the living It destroys them Sympathy for the living It's a cross to bear Sympathy for the living We thought the worst was over But the worst is yet to come Behold a fool that holds a proof Behold another failing truth Behold a god that holds a gun Behold a war that's never won If you don't feel despair You don't know what's going on in this world Red cloud at dawn Humanising hell Defended to death Rise of the dark sun Sympathy for the living It's a cross to bear Sympathy for the living It destroys them Sympathy for the living It's a cross to bear Sympathy for the living

There's always time for one last time As it pulls you in Another failed attempt at life Another loss, you win Failure is not an option But it's all you've ever known Despair descends on you too often This vision of nothing your own Told a truth that was a lie Complicit in your own abuse Complicit in your own abuse Is this the joy of suffering? We've nowhere left to go A darker side discovering That there's nothing left to know Is this the only way? Is this how you treat yourself? Every single day Told a truth that was a lie Complicit in your own abuse Complicit in your own abuse Inside yourself you never shut up Tales of grief that fuck you up This auditory sense is a cacophonous silent void Dragging, tearing, crying, ripping itself, destroyed There's always time for one last time As it pulls you in Another failed attempt at life Another loss, you win This is a humanity death Is this the only way? Is this how you treat yourself? Every single day Told a truth that was a lie Complicit in your own abuse Complicit in your own abuse Inside yourself you never shut up Tales of grief that fuck you up

I've seen the light fading On the hopes you never knew The act of life is so degrading Cannot wait until it's through Riding through hell again I'll burn you up in my flames I will not be mistaken I'll crush you in the palm of my hand You'll be the victim of my demands I will not be forsaken I can feel it I don't feat it Death means nothing When life means less Will it ever end? I've seen your life failing Beyond hope it always was The tracks I left were all derailing There is no why it's just because I'll rise from the ashes again Be the master of this domain We will not be mistaken We'll drive you to the will of my plans We will not be forsaken I can feel it I don't feat it Death means nothing When life means less Will it ever end? Still hoping for the very first time To find a sign telling me that I'm not wrong Can you feel it there inside of your head? Deserted mind ‘scape all alone that you cannot break Can you hear me when I talk to the dead? Or is it just like talking to you Riding through hell again I'll burn you up in my flames I will not be mistaken I'll crush you in the palm of my hands You'll be the victim of my demands I will not be forsaken I can feel it I don't feat it Death means nothing When life means less Will it ever end?
