Lyrics

Screaming at night in the depths of frustration
Our current state lets us live to barely survive
For the pointless existence of proliferation
Devoid of essence and meaning to life
The road mapped out, is it all providence?
If born to fail, then effort is futile
You must abandon such bullshit convictions
Defy the rules and deep held beliefs
At the brink of defeat, don't aim at your face
Thoughts turn to actions, don't poison your mind
Lower the barrel or shoot at the sky
Don't choose the grave or be remembered by grief
We are at the point where our heroes are dying
Time runs out, so choose your own path
A life of honor or murder or wealth
So change this world or burn it to hell
Destiny is on your hands and your shoulders
To shape and mold how life unfolds
The path is laid with sharp stones and nails
For you to try and yet still fail
Pick up the pieces and carry your soul
A legacy beyond certain death
Embrace failure but not defeat to become
Immortals!
Undying and deathless, eternal our goal.
We write this rhyme but we know it'll be forgotten
This art is worthless, in the presence of titans
We'll die like martyrs, but our craft will endure
Don't heed these words, for we thrive in defeat
A self-reminder not to choose an early grave
We have no wealth, we don't mean to deceive
So rise in flames undeterred by defeat
