Guillotines

Give a reason to live without a head

Understand the living will one day be the dead

If we all could only see the world is nothing short of agony 

Loathing creatures will are truly are, sweet we appear on the outside

Lifeless and headless like the minds we slowly lose

Only the dead can tell the truth for they have got no words left

Today we hear the same as tomorrow emptiness pointless headless mindless sorrows 

In the end we all kneel before the soundless roar of the blade as it comes down

Now we wait for it to go through the bone remove our hears and take us home

Eternal sleep and no more pain one last sleep no longer insane take me to the block

Slumber never felt so sweet no more will i ever talk back for the head I had now I lack
