lyrics

first, we crack the shell
oh how it pains me to do this
witness its dismemberment
guilty or innocent

one shall fall
there's no hope, no hope at all
is it courage or fear
that compels you
you betrayed yourself

deeper revelations dawn
in calms between storms

I fear the wounds are fatal
let this mark the end
we lose faith
our allies turn against us
forsake this planet and its people

a world I do not know

proceed on the way to oblivion
off this twisted planet
I would have waited an eternity
but why throw away life so recklessly?

taken refuge
in a tomb we cannot find
lighten our burden
we all must die sometime

this is bad comedy
fate waylaid us both
no light in our darkest hour
consort to the darkness
