The Penitent Void
I've been molded by failure
From my first memory
I've taken all the world can give
And turned it into misery
There are things I've seen and done
No man should endure
Redemption is a fantasy
My poison has no cure
I kneel before the darkness
And feel it in my bones
Prostrate in my desire
To be at peace in the unknown
I kill me
With my desire to live
Forsake me
I have nothing more to give
Suffocating fury
Disemboweling dread
Funerary practices
Worshipping the dead
This experiment in terror
Is waged upon the spirit
Created to destroy
The last shred of my humanity
Facing the terrors of the abyss
All alone in spite
Learning the lessons of failure
My weakness turned to might
I kill me
With my desire to live
Forsake me
I have nothing more to give
I kneel before the darkness
And feel it in my bones
Prostrate in my desire
To be at peace in the unknown
From my first memory
I've taken all the world can give
And turned it into misery
There are things I've seen and done
No man should endure
Redemption is a fantasy
My poison has no cure
I kneel before the darkness
And feel it in my bones
Prostrate in my desire
To be at peace in the unknown
I kill me
With my desire to live
Forsake me
I have nothing more to give
Suffocating fury
Disemboweling dread
Funerary practices
Worshipping the dead
This experiment in terror
Is waged upon the spirit
Created to destroy
The last shred of my humanity
Facing the terrors of the abyss
All alone in spite
Learning the lessons of failure
My weakness turned to might
I kill me
With my desire to live
Forsake me
I have nothing more to give
I kneel before the darkness
And feel it in my bones
Prostrate in my desire
To be at peace in the unknown
