歌词
Not made for permanence
We surely drift towards our end
Towards our end
Torn apart as I thrash against the weight
Of a burden destined to be mine
Wrought chains bind me unto boulder
Taught chains tearing through my skin
I've raged against these shackles
They have flensed with every languishing motion
What is left when this form is shredded and broken?
A bitter being lurching forward in defiance of death
Crushed
Doomed
Condemned to endure again and again
Despite growing weakness and frailty
Despite the fear and terror winding within
In spite of any rationality
I refuse to accept that all things must die
That I will slowly become fragile and weak
One day slumping over in a sullen heap
Wounds worn with wilful conviction
Failures enshrined in the moulding of flesh
A weak will tempered against iron
But even iron succumbs to the gnawing of rust
May this body wither and break
May this mind falter and fade
I've lost my hope, I've lost my sanity
And in the madness I've found a sickening shade of clarity
My pain rages on
And yet the cruelty of it all has its charm
One day we will be gone
And everything returns to nothingness
One day there will be an end to our song
Hung on a final note bitter end
I refuse a slow disintegration
I forsake jubilant internment in gloom
Give me an end fitting of fire
Give me an end worthy of defiance
One day we will be gone
Know that everything returns to nothingness
One day there will be an end to our song
Hung on a final note bitter end
One day we will be gone
Know that everything returns to nothingness
One day there will be an end to our song
Hung on a final note bitter end
