Farewell
what are we, what are we,
shrouded in uncertainty
who am i, who am i,
doomed to fail, doomed to try
clouded mind, splintered soul
inside broken, outside whole
i feel the powerful oppression
all i hate is my obsession
god, an empty, spiteful lie
go and look inside the sky
loved ones lost become enmity
misanthropic, without pity
fall once more into the dark
bid farewell, to death embark
lost inside the mirrors task
imprisoned in our puppet-mask
i bid farewell to mortal flesh
