One day closer to the end of all life on this fucking planet
Death obsessed! Infatuation with cessation
Eternal rest, request for death at my behest

Time: 1:20
Make them suffer!
While they plead for cessation
Entirely demoralized and close to mass extinction

Time: 1:51
Spill their blood
Their decapitation leads to the cessation
Of the sadness, of the woe

Time: 2:26
My principles disputed, by my own hand
Cessation of respect, a sadistic last stand
It's not vital, to kill so many of you

Time: 2:28
And with every question asked, only the wind calls back
Cessation nigh to
Silence is an open wound

Time: 0:59
You wouldn't notice day-to-day, but I've been face-to-face with death
My cessation and location at a later date in depth
We don't need names (names)

Time: 2:07
And calling my name twice
(It seems cessation is nearby)
And now the cards all turn, you sense

Time: 1:17
Since the infection
Evolving axis of cessation
Still man allots contagion

Time: 1:19
Correlations, disintegrations
Cessation of life expectancy
Got to face it, can't erase it

Time: 0:31
I try to belong.
Character cessation,
On a major scale of depression.

Time: 3:59
Left in awe
The cessation of perseverance
A memory unbecoming

Time: 5:37
Delusion is divine
Cessation and demand
A struggle to possess

Time: 1:25
The cycle of agony is reborn.
Immortal cessation, denied assention...
Jesus... was... mortal...

Time: 0:00
Cessation of suffering is the path to lumination
Circles of death, a cycle of exhaustion

Time: 1:18
False idea of self
The cessation of continuity and becoming
True enlightenment

Time: 0:45
Swarming sadness
Passenger of this cessation
Guided by he who has taken my hand

Time: 0:24
So incompetent yet urged to operate
Inflicting cessation - upon a world that's left to rot
Genocidal perfection - procreating necrosis on a global scale

Time: 1:59
Tonic immobility, last chance that they can grasp?
Haunting further in their wildest dreams, it's the cessation of life
Apparent death is your savior, savior of the martyrs

Time: 2:20
Time stands still upon the jagged cross
Waiting for our cessation
The final chapter for all of our sins

Time: 1:31
It's over, it's over
Cessation of mourning the past
Bestowed upon vacations of thoughts fading black
