Emptiness

[Verse 1]
The sudden loss of hope
The burden of endless suffering
Immense weight upon the soul
And the world which passes by

[Chorus]
No hope for a higher power
No angels, no wings to protect
Only darkness that lurks all around
The blissful voice from the abyss
The abyss

[Verse 2]
In the grip of the festering pain
That thaws the anger within
False teachings stripped from truth
Eroded words from eroded worlds

[Outro]
Benevolent, malevolent
Why do we seek in the past?
Vainglorious as we are
Into torture and bliss
We are a litany of errors
Still blessed and yet so cursed
We don't deserve our place
In history, in time
