about

This was originally intended to be a bonus track exclusive to the CD release of 'We, the Damned' but, since that never saw the light of day (Obscure Abhorrence apparently lost interest), I have decided to put it up for download on Bandcamp.

lyrics

Forlorn, the wilds;
And severed are the bonds!
A culture of fear
Where chaos is shunned...

Forsaken, our roots;
And buried is the past!
A sterile world of order
Where beauty is obsolete...

The sky weeps, grieving for the loss;
The tears touching the concrete
As blood pours from every vein,
To feed the structure of desolace.
The grace is fading from this world;
Dried up, wilted and barren.





A promise of peace is a cruel torture for the diseased. The hope it inspires lights a toxic fire, belching forth a choking smoke that drowses the soul and blots out reality.
Are not we the sick ones precisely because we have abandoned hope? We saw through the lies and empty promises and resolved forthwith to dwell without hope, shedding it as though it were an affliction. Yet the frailty of our resolution is all too easily revealed when we hear that siren’s call beckoning, gently whispering promises of rest and tranquillity in our ear.
—No! We have once learned to mistrust naïve optimism and would do well to remember it. We, the despondent; we, the hopeless; we, Sisyphos,—is it not for us all the same whether we bear this cross only until dawn or for many years hence?
Now that all is finally lost, there is nothing left to say. Beyond this point, words lose their meaning, become insipid and banal. Thus now I depart from you in silence, to suffer for all of eternity with solemn equanimity.
