Manifesto Lyrics by A Pale December

Death Panacea

2022

A withering sun
Growing dim in the distance
Unearthly voices speak
Drawing abject crowds
Towards a mutual oblivion
Gravitating towards
An ominous fate
Sycophantic observers
Groveling in a self-imposed subjection
Taking pride
In persevering their misery
The patterns were clear from the start
And we ignored every hint
Throwing ourselves
Into another fool’s game
Errant disciples
Of the hollow
Unworthy bearer
Of the flaming cross of sentience
The patterns were clear from the start
And we dance
Screaming silently in an endless parade
As crippled hands twist
In a convulsing shadow play
It all vanishes in a glimpse
Another light comes and goes
Unattended, insignificant, invariant
Nothing more
Than feeble voices
Bound to be forgotten
And we still preach the fall
So much faith
Was misplaced
And fists crushed into the concrete
There’s nothing left to find here
Your void won’t be filled
Your void won’t be filled
As the lights go out
Speak those words clear
(We never stood a chance)
As the lights go out
Speak those words clear
(We’ve always lived in fear)
The patterns were clear from the start
And if you wish you can still pretend
That perseverance
Will lead to a good end
And give yourself the illusion
Of holding the bridle
While nosediving in a burning hearse
And sitting idle
But there’s a subtle
Still present solace
That the top step of the podium
It’s just a springboard
To the abyss
At the end of the tunnel
We did find
The infamous light
Just to watch it dies
Before us
As another reminder of our fate
We were just digging graves
Calling for something
That could ease the pain
Some turned to faith
Other fooled themselves
With nihilistic optimism
But the truth is that
Nor ignorance nor awareness
Will bring any relief
