Existential Terror

Fated to die, the gift of life is impermanence
Evasion is unattainable
No paradise nor inferno lie in wait
No continuance of this false identity

For existence implies nonexistence
All shall return to the state of vacuity
For the shedding of this mortal coil
It is forthcoming but unknowable

All life exists under death's shadow
The end forever unseeable

Quietus is the perpetual promise
No immortality to be found
What awaits beyond the boundaries of flesh
What lies beyond the tunnel of light

Repulsive thoughts, scenarios of death
Exciting the most primal fear of man
Staining the mind with existential terror
Self-slaughter comes into consideration

Visceral visions of lead piercing skull
Erasing existence in but a moment
No paradise nor inferno lie in wait
No continuance of this false identity

All life exists under death's shadow
The end forever unseeable

Quietus is the perpetual promise
No immortality to be found
What awaits beyond the boundaries of flesh
What lies beyond the tunnel of light
