Descent

Trapped into a shell
A painful cage that slowly decays
Prisoner of the stench
By his own flesh, betrayed
Time, the enemy
Racing against fate
For a place among history
Immortal desire, desperate fantasy

Searching divine
Compulsive dive into futile beliefs
Fear defeats reason
Arrogant display of ignorance
Truth beyond reach
A world devoid of certitude
Haunted by the questions
Tormented by existential solitude

Into the abyss, we stare
Pretend to know the end
Looking for a purpose
An ideal to make sense
Into the pit, we fall
A dreadful descent
Returning into dust
Living to die alone

Endless tunnel, forever black path
Follow the feeble light
Darkness drowns and suffocate mind
Weighted by remorse
Terrified at the outcome

Into the abyss, we stare
Pretend to know the end
Looking for a purpose
An ideal to make sense
Into the pit, we fall
A dreadful descent
Returning into dust
Living to die together alone
