Lyrics

["Hope in reality is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs the torments of man." - f. nietzsche]

A slow aching, bled dry of pain
The pace of life sedates the sane

Lure me into the fury of absence
Let my train of thoughts collide
In a trance of confidence
Stirring up, I breathe cyanide

Drawn in my horns, a stabwound slow-dance
Holding on to a dog's fair chance
A slow aching, bled dry of pain
The pace of life sedates the sane

I myself, I am a cold element
But I contain a living flame

Fading in, fading out
Last visit for a long time
While a legend lingers
We pine away, into clime

The wish is father to the thought
The thought is father to the truth
Ignite the imagination and take it far away

I grieve over things that end
Nothing in line to succeed them
They become a part
Of the horrors I hold in my heart

Neatly pealed all layers off
Searching a stain to expose
Lay bare imperfection
Grow aversion, then dispose

Now your self is bare
In an instant flare
If you have tears
Cry elsewhere
