Destitute Lyrics by Cognitive

Malevolent Thoughts of a Hastened Extinction

2021

I've paid my dues
And this is what I have
To show for it
My empire
Of rot and decay
Is all that's left for me
Let it burn and fade away
Let it burn and fade away

Barren
Lifeless
The end of days
Has arrived
Choking
Suffocate
Beneath a dying sun
We will all die alone
We will die alone

I worked my fingers to the bone
All I wanted
Was a place to call my own
I worked my fingers to the bone
All I wanted
Was a place to call my own

Was it all for nothing?
Climbed the ranks
For the tower to crumble
Decomposing before my eyes

Let it burn and fade X3
Let it fade away

I've paid my dues
And this is what I have
To show for it
My empire
Of rot and decay
Is all that's left for me
Let it burn and fade away
Let it burn and fade away
