Legacy of Hurt

The final outcome here
Is a sense of guilt and fear
Never far, always near -
That’s where it has led
The spider’s web is spun
An approval junkie dependent on chaos
All has been done (been done),
Words have all been said
Legacy - Legacy of hurt
Legacy - The control they exert on you
Makes you suffocate - Legacy of hurt
There’s got to be something that drags you through the dirt
Stifled emotions
No place for pleasant notions
Just going through the motions
No more dreams and strife
Self-image distorted,
Issues unsorted -
You’re nothing but a supporting player in your own life
Reclaim your life
Reclaim your life

Warning from History
03:16
|

Open hostility to valid reality
Trampled underfoot is the code of morality
Endless repetition in blind fury
To make fiction credible and crime alluring
There’s more than one way to stifle the truth
But being deceived is no excuse
No use
Disbelieving
It keeps repeating
Relevant as it can be
Be aware, this is a warning from history
Warning from history
Warning from history
Warning from history
Warning from history – take heed this
Warning from history – so much to reminisce
Warning from history – as the seasons turn
Warning from history – will we ever learn?
Warning from history – peace is broken
Warning from history – split wide open
Open embrace of contradiction
Reason abandoned amidst the friction
Loyalty and belief misplaced
Understanding is useless, you must have faith
There’s more than one way to stifle the truth
But being deceived is no excuse
No use
Disbelieving
It keeps repeating
Relevant as it can be
Warning from history

Done

It’s such a shame it’s got to this:
A shadow of your former self, down in the abyss
Holding on to yesterday - what are you trying to prove?
The world has turned the page on you, too late for you to move on
You’re done
Your old routine is what you seek
The urge is strong but you are weak
You’re done, you’re done
Let the higher power speak and make you understand
That you’re done
It’s wiser to acquiesce than to fight it
Earned your place in history, now let someone else re-write it
Bitter but true, the world has turned the page on you
Time to let go now. Your fate is sealed, there’s nowhere to run
You’re done
Your old routine is what you seek
The urge is strong but you are weak
You’re done, you’re done
Let the higher power speak and make you understand
That you’re done

May You Find Solace...

May you find solace in death
Let me give you the ultimate cure
As you take your final breath
Sometimes the greatest acts of love are the hardest acts to commit
A psychic serial killer, not a fraud
If I failed to mention
And I have no interest in playing God
No it’s not my intention
I feel the pain equally
But here I am
To put you out of your misery
May you find solace in death
Or shouldn’t I have looked this far ahead
As you’re lying there gasping for breath?
May you find solace in death
May you find solace in death
It's about allowing those who are already dying... to die with some dignity

MV Wilhelm Gustloff

January 30th 1945
They embarked hoping to make it out alive
But there, on enemy waters
Where all ships are fair game
It’s just a matter of time
Before any perishes in flames
Twenty miles after departure
The S-13 drew near
And it all vanished into history
As the Gustloff disappeared
Thousands and thousands went down – untainted
Thousands and thousands went down – ill-fated
Ship of hope into ship of despair
Cries of death filled the icy air
Thousands and thousands went down – aim and fire
Thousands and thousands went down – shouldn’t transpire
Thousands and thousands went down below the sea
Thousands and thousands went down – buried tragedy
Thousands and thousands went down below the sea
The Wilhelm Gustloff’s burial ground

Horizon growing dim, patience wearing thin
Constant mental torture, illness within
Self-deceit, self-defeat
Drive towards perfection, always incomplete
Hopes and dreams that are impossible
Aims and goals unachievable
Standards that are unattainable
Acts and thoughts so unreasonable
Impossible – Unachievable – Unattainable – Unreasonable
Self-blame, lack of self-worth
Feeling of self-blame, lack of self-worth
…A neurotic unwillingness to accept reality, continually implying disappointment, frustration and anger... A self-deceptive form of procrastination… The illusory pursuit of the unrealistic standard of perfection that leads to psychological rigidity and dogmatism – and, thus, to perpetual dissatisfaction and chronic anxiety…
Can’t deny you’re just living a lie
Such a shame, common sense has to die
How does it feel to serve a false ideal?
Drive towards perfection, so damn surreal
Hopes and dreams that are impossible
Aims and goals unachievable
Standards that are unattainable
Acts and thoughts so unreasonable
Impossible – Unachievable – Unattainable – Unreasonable
