lyrics

A heap, a mass, of flesh

Once you were, once you were

The blood within our breast

Time, time, time, time

Rots at everything

The mighty fall, the weak succeed

Honor is our defeat
Honor is our defeat

Who are and who are not

Living forever and wanting to die

Always why
Always why

The black, the cold, embrace the old

Embrace the old
Embrace the old

The mind, the mind, the mind

The reason you try

The reason you don't

Crush all in way in a sea of hate

Wanting the end is the reason it won't
Wanting the end is the reason it won't
