The Caitiff Choir: Defeatism

Surrender and know I've failed you
Now let the darkness swallow you whole
Nothing could ever compensate
For what I've done to you
Tell me, is there any recollection of a time
Before the abhorrent smell of death
Masked all the sugary scents of springtime...
And these apparitions led me astray
Into the bowels of perdition?

Together, we created a world void of sunlight:
Darkness fell, as we walked away

Before an individual so cavalier, yet so depraved
Laid you down upon the shores of Acheron
Before we became immersed in iniquity

And as we walked away
The sky, it seemed to turn to black
We did create an environment that's oh so dolent
But I'd give anything to change these memories
Back to reality and return us to the light

Surrender, and know I've failed you
Now let the darkness swallow you whole
Nothing could ever compensate
For what I've done to you
Now walk away and end our days
