Hollow Eyes

Blind to the world, deaf to the truth, the hapless lost proceed
Misshapen hulks of a once noble race
Now feeble and diseased
Oblivious to this miserable hell, destitute and dumb
The spirit long dead, the essence deprived
The soul tormented and numb

Tortured souls deprived
All wisdom denied
Pain disguised behind hollow eyes

The cold stare of death, the harsh stench of pain
The horror of the grave
The stark brutal truth of freedom long lost
Humanity enslaved
Fear of the light and terror of night, the tortuous despair
Surrendered souls of anguish and woe
Gaping, vacant stares

They are so despised, souls now cauterized
All promise dies, behind hollow eyes

And so the twisted march in time like some devilish parade
Puppeteered cadavers passing by in ceaseless waves
An endless stream of rotten life, squandered hopes and dreams
Malignancy and pestilence, ignorance and greed
So let the devil have his day, surrender to the beast
Licking blood from his lips and fingertips
As your soul becomes his feast
Let your soul become his feast!

Sightlessly lurch forth
This ghastly dance of doom
The blind shall lead the blind
And all shall be consumed!

Choking back the noxious waves
Asphyxiate in flame
Eyes burned out through the back of your skull
Languish in your shame!
