Dark is the path, light is fading away
Dark is the world we won’t suffer to save
Meet me at the edge of oblivion
Where we can stare into the sun until we starve to death
Don’t even want to begin again; just let it end
Pray something good will grow in our absence
Decay through the earth and rain
And blacken every breath
Swallow continents, and the consequence
Is an ocean inside my chest
Twist the knife, and blame us all for bleeding
Defile without regret
And from our beds we watch deserters come
Pull the plug and take what’s left
So keep your head down and hold your breath
Just do your part and rehearse your death
At last, the combine’s coming
Are we alive with bound hearts and blinded eyes
Standing aside, just watching the whole world die
Compliance
No, I can’t stand turning my back again
No more running
Time is lost in my sleep
Placing it's hands around me
This friction is burning
Why can't you all just learn to see
They keep us tucked away
and I fear I've lost my way
This is not why I was made
‘Cause our guilt is a grave we can’t escape
And now it’s too late
Demise decades in the making
Our last chance is fading
Refuse to die as a captive nation
The cult of cultivation carries the blame
There will be no shelter
Dragged from your throne, you will taste disaster
Cut out the cancer
Profit from pain
Pillage and prosper the same
Now nothing remains
Our last breath is spent with our boot to your throat
And you will hang from the same rope
Dark is the path, light is fading away
Dark is the world we won’t suffer to save
