lyrics

The black hand of death
Grips me with desire
My life is only ashes
Waiting for the fire
As I drawl the blade
Swiftly through my skin
Crimson tears promise me
A new life will begin

No longer forced to suffer this eternity of pain
I close my eyes forever, finally nothing shall remain
The memories of misery and darkness slowly pass
The sweet embrace of victory has truly come at last

The unrelenting terror no longer shall persist
In this shitty world I cannot exist
Released for my agony, blessed as can be
With my final breath, I have been set free
