Seen it happen too many times
Grand idols turn to decayed masses
A standard that was so trusted and dear
Now has crumbled to beneath the bottom
Beyond the limits of power
Sobbing for mercy you plea
Twisted words of wisdom
Now howls of agony and fear
Restrained and afraid when action is needed
Wavering at the thought of failure
The booming sound of the door slamming behind you
Trapping you in the depths of hell
A sliver of pale light illuminates your face
Exposing a mournful visage
Thinking back on the times that once were
Concerned with your false image of caring
Destiny unfolded right in front of you
Negligent action got you where you are
Now feel no shame it’s all over now
Blackened hardcore with the sheer heady power of stadium crust and the glacial melodies of second-wave black metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 10, 2023
