Sham Piety

If you could live forever what would you live for?
A damned aversion of a black soul
Or an everlasting love?
For this lonesome voyage
Remembering this is not a sham
Remembering there is only pain
Remembering those sad lonely screams
And everything will soon fall in place
An everlasting love
The lessons we have attained
Remembrance of a dying world
I’m sending forth a wasted heart
Lust and madness make an abysmal soul
It you have chosen is what you have always said
The unappeased ardor
Remembering this is not a sham
Remembering there is only pain
Of eerie worship
With wailing in the night
And sensation without sight
I’m sending forth a wasted heart
