Dismay - Vesania

As you keep pushing forward

You hold on to righteous self for self power sake

Prove you’re not a coward

Go on with decisions to make

In consequence of your creation

Gods are crying in dismay

Visions of the future, they will devour you

Reconciling with the past what a shame

Watch the answers change

For all questions you ever had

Comprehend, cogitate

Realize it’s going nowhere, obliterate

The point of absolute prostration

A man stripped down to the very fear

And none of you shall reach out to him

Drowned in disease, crowned with your fears

Paralyzing self-righteousness, all your loves gone in tears

So close yet so far, so distant yet so near

The aesthetics gives you joy, sweetest of all decay

You’re barely human, more like a creature

You may defend what’s left, you many pretend to live

Horrifying death you’ll be facing

I’ve done everything you wanted, like the ancient tragedy

You’re not what you were meant to be means and ends are seen

«Learning means finding out what you may already know…»

But before the curtains close, to awaken all the hopes again

Deus ex machina is descending from the top

The audience holds the breath

Faintly rising from their seats

Eyes wide open

Here come their happy end

But wait… there’s a halter on his neck

Ghastly pale going down with the ropes

Averting human’s fall is the hangman’s dream
