Dynasty of Decadence

from Towards a Futile Existence by Escarion

/

lyrics

A cloud shaded noir shrouds earth
And slowly descends on its inhabitants
We watch from our peripherals
The aftermath of the Murder of Mythology Reigns
Upholding idols of shame
As we glorify abhorrent doctrines on podiums

Lacking the value of truth
As value was extracted from truth
Until only the fragments remain lost
History buried under the decades of dust
Irrelevant to the children of post-modernity
And the literary critics blind themselves a priori
As they lead the future minds in perpetual suffering

Lost and shrouded
The haze of self-inflicted blindness
Hangs heavy
Centuries stacked somber across our willing souls
Tap the nails in
Lay the coffins down
Is there comfort in defeat?
Is this defeat?
Who plays the victor and who the victim
In a game of self-victimisation
An indoctrination into
Collective grief
Let me out
Clawing at the casket hinges
Smothered in storylines foreign to personal truth
Let me out

And the last of us blink
And thus
The prophecy is fulfilled
