lyrics

I am the truth of your despair
The inescapable price of your ignorance
You spent your life trying to elevate
Shed everything that made you human

I am all, and I am one
I am the universe and all it contains
You will stand at my gate screaming why
a self-deserving outcome

Blegh
As the gate creaks open
An eye peers out
You will be dragged into the void

I will bestow upon you the despair that you deserve
You simply must have seen the answer with your own eyes
I will bestow upon you the despair that you deserve
This fate is reserved for those who claim to be enlightened

I am all, and I am one
I am the universe and all it contains
You will stand at my gate screaming why
a self-deserving outcome

At the end of it all, we’re all human
You put yourself above the rest when you’re no better
A self-fulfilling prophecy of misery
This result is all that can come of arrogance
You have learned nothing
You are still so blind
I am the truth of your despair
The inescapable price of your ignorance
