Stare Into Death and Be Still

At war with no enemy But the dearth of our will Far too late to wake from this doubt Intransigent in the face of the end Banished to a fate worse than death No worth remains of this condemned existence Soon to be annulled Transpire, from order to chaos The messiah of alienation Deliver us to these ends we have dreamt Where the faintest light is now smothered Devoured by the grief Sink deeper into the abyss Buried under the flaws we disown Starved of breath And fearing the detachment from all Submit to unseen tyranny We have reached the brink of this terminal world Stare into death and be still The darkness ahead mirrors a past of ruin Barely lived Every fire exhausted Awaiting surrender
