Stand on the abyss, the blackening clouds obsuring the view

Of a million sorrow-drenched faces, their illusions construed

The hollowed worn hands of society, clawing at mind’s outer wall

Through gritted teeth, echoed howls engulfing the skull

The simplest design brought not to fruition in the sea of pain

Oh, when will it end?

Rapture is in plain sight

There past your empty lies

There beyond the twisted truths

Presented to you in plain view

Look beyond the empty lies

Look through the hollow illusion

To see I’m standing alone

Beyond this nightmare

From here remains nothing but death of self

Harrowing screams go unheard, ne’er will you get help

I’m done with all the foolish games, no matter what you say

Watch yourself be broken now, embrace the decay

Through the storm of death, spirit adrift

Will you hold on, to the ultimate gift?

Throughout the struggle, wear the grin

Strength, perseverance, we can win
