Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Degeneration tears your blackened skies
The final descent for the last in life
No joy in our tired lives—the torment builds inside
The sun sets forever on a world of lies
[Verse 2]
World of lies
World of lies
Non-divine
Release me
[Verse 3]
Demonic vultures feed on your mind
Disarmed of all your pride you die
No life in your alien eyes—the blind lead the blind
The sun sets forever on the non-divine
[Verse 4]
Non-divine
World of lies
Non-divine
Release me
[Verse 5]
Final psychotic eclipse
Painted in the colours of war
Final psychotic eclipse
A world drenched in blood
[Verse 6]
Degeneration tears your blackened skies
The final descent for the last in line
No joy in our tired lives—the torment builds inside
The sun sets forever on a world of lies
[Verse 7]
World of lies
World of lies
Non-divine
Release me
[Verse 8]
"And it's his illusions about what constitutes the real world which are inhibiting him..."
"His reality, his reason, his society... these are what must be destroyed"
Luke Rhinehart—The Dice Man, 1971
[Verse 9]
Final psychotic eclipse
Painted in the colours of war
Final psychotic eclipse
A world drenched in the blood of the innocent
