Speaker A
And they all give them up dude [music] to re be trapped inside. Day in day out my iron and [singing] rot. Year in year out time gone yet your soul for decades [music] have passed. [singing] So now your world's done. Centuries passed.
Speaker A
Don't blink and all's gone. You wicked the past. You your creation. Perish [music] the thought. Hear your damnation. Lover thy gaze. What's done won't undo. Come [music] down too deep.
Speaker A
So it starts with you. Evil conceived yet you cannot look. Search [music and singing] for a man deep in your core show. Eaten alive. Rot from the inside. [singing] [music] Abandoned hopes sinner and divine. So as it may
Speaker A

Speaker A
Your wrongs have always been known. Your wrongs meant [music] to right. It's freeing. [singing] See past normal sight. It's freeing. [music] Be on mortal minds. It's freeing. Fleeting as is life. It's freeing. It was meant to be our choosing, none left to believe

Speaker A
The weight of all we know obsolete. [music] Observe [singing] the world [music] turned upside of all that's known.
Speaker A
[music and singing] Logic dethroned. Our woes [music] and angst chagrin, far more besides my toll. Let it fester inside believe in the thoughts and lies [music] the truth within the lies. What does it matter at all? You're here for the ride, for the fall, enjoy
Speaker A
[music] as the curtain's last fall comes. Arriving ever closer. Clock strikes to 12 was [music] left to deem. Ions reach to three anger made realize. Time ticks [music] to six bargain your own life.
Speaker A
Hold out to nine hollow your insides. Clock strikes again, why bother counting? [music] Irrelevant, it's missing something. Wish to pass on it's all or nothing. Accept [music] you're wrong it's ever crushing. Left by yourself no one for guidance. [music]
Speaker A
Carve out the path onto your silence. This is your way by your compliance. Cut out what's left there's no loyal fiend.
Speaker A
You believe all testified to you as it be [music] so easy it is nothing. There is still much within left to show you far away past the bounds of mortal [music] beauty. The high leaning you have a further down below show go
Speaker A
without further ado. Furthermore the end is too. [music] The final closing act in series upon the time it's coming. All faith met demise it's coming. [music] Free yourself from sight it's coming. Close your dead to rights, [music] it's coming. All roads
Speaker A
meet their end, it's closing. Curtains fall again, it's closing. Awful outcome friend, it's closing. [music] None left to commend, it's closing. Soon see it from the end of an aisle. Once the self [music] in denial back once again in the
Speaker A
end, we relive the [singing] cycle taste of the joy left to come. [music] Believe we're still far from done, assert. This time shall still run, but now we do battle so well.
