Stricken down by tragic grief, when will my heart succumb
Is all I see and believe born of delirium?
I look around at faces, these smiles make no sense
Each one of us carries our own vile pestilence
It ferments inside us, good intentions gone bad
When all we hoped was to remember the old feelings we had.
And Pestilence takes our body as his morbid throne
The moment we've reduced to all but bone
A disease that's terminal, upon dreams it has fed
We're reduced to nothing more than soulless walking dead.
Epidemic grows rampant, now expanding the earth
Wretched plague inside us all, infected right from birth
In shattered glass lies our old selves
The beasts we've become must be someone else.
Attempting to steal our hearts back from the pile
Before realizing they're the ones we were enticed to defile
There we lay in rotten heaps, we vandalize the world
Heartless as automatons, our virus now unfurled.
Anguish is what mankind brings, the great spreading disease
Envenom the land and air, make poison of the seas
Malice beyond all measure takes over and envelops us all
Stumbling and shambling, sometime we must fall.
We've withered down to the point of disentegration
The only way that seems to lead out is complete eradication
Hearts of gold and purest souls, their time is ticking fast
Can't evade the plague for long, iron resolve won't last
Sinuous doom fills the air, now weaves it's baneful path
Cloaked in stealth to take it's toll with mellifluous wrath
Time betrays again, but not for the last time
The reaper arrives, and we're next in line.
So ends the road of affiction and unease
The apalling consequence of life's disease.
