Emptiness

The sudden loss of hope

The burden of endless suffering

Immense weight upon the soul

And the world, which passes by

No hope for a higher power

No angel, no wings to protect

Only darkness, that lurks all around

The blissful voice from the abyss

In the grip of the festering pain

That thaws the anger within

False teachings stripped from truth

Eroded words from eroded worlds

Benevolent, malevolent

Why do we seek in the past?

Vainglorious as we are

Into torture and bliss

We are a litany of errors

Still blessed and yet so cursed

We don't deserve our place

In history, in time
