emptiness

born only of despair, hope crumbles under the horrors we bear, death into life, the flask of our idols, spills poisonous smite upon their arrival, a river of ice meets a mountain of fire, all hope torn asunder by human desire, under a serpent's tongue, the fruit of life, heaven and hell, cast from the flame and the flies, back to the soil, our ties to the planet, severed by knife, severed by knife, we'll cry of the cancer, and we'll fail for the cure, let the sorrow consume us, the burden's impure, we'll cry of the cancer, and we'll fail for the cure, let the sorrow consume us, the burden's impure, sick from the filth, spew forth black blood, unchain the machines, that hold off the flood, i see no hope, i don't feel the fear, we don't have to stay here, we don't have to stay here, a river of ice meets a mountain of fire, all hope torn asunder by human desire, emptiness, godless gluttons, emptiness, i give you, emptiness, godless gluttons, emptiness, we'll cry of the cancer, and we'll fail for the cure, let the sorrow consume us, the burden's impure, we'll cry of the cancer, and we'll fail for the cure, let the sorrow consume us, the burden's impure, flesh to the dirt, necks to the stone, scorching the soul, hollowing bones, flesh to the dirt, necks to the stone, scorching the soul, hollowing bones, don't bring me back from the dead, don't bring me back from the dead
