Decline

Aw

You drown in stagnation
In a world of frustration
Your chance for salvation
Is to weave a cell of fears

This stainless collection
Of countless imperfection
A mild satisfaction
A sea of rotten tears

This serpentine throne suits you well
A place to reign the deepest hell
Faded memories, they crawl across the years
Reveal your hidden fears

A short hesitation
On your way to desperation
You'll feel the aggravation
Before decline begins

I gaze into a darkened well
With madness that erodes my shell
Decay's burning bleakly in my eyes
No way to save our wasted lives

Death's in your soul, dear
It's in your dreams, it's always near
Death's in your soul, dear
It is near, near

What I was meant to be
What I was born to be
What will set me free
I was too blind to see

Too blind to realize
Too blind to turn the tides
Too blind to see your lies
Was too blind to see

This serpentine throne suits me well
A place where vilest worms do dwell
Faded memories, they crawl across the years
Enraged by all your fears

Death's in your soul dear
It's in your dreams, it's always near
Death's in your soul, dear
It is near, it is near
It's in your dreams, it's always near
Death's in your soul, dear
It is near, it is near

(Oh, how dare)
(You come into my lair?)
(Here in this void, this sanctum)
(Reigns despair)

(And somberly it sleeps)
(It winds, it slowly creeps)
(The end is near)
(The end is near)
(The end is near)

Take a look around
This evil lurks behind you
Two thousand years of lies
And arrogance that blinds you

Nightmares crawl
The serpent in your eye
The road of Cain
Winds on until you die

Yeah
Death's in your soul, dear
It's in your dreams, it's always near
Death's in your soul, dear
It is here, here
It's in your dreams, it's always near
Death's in your soul, dear
The end is here
