Soul-Sick Nation - Abysmal Dawn

The embrace of pain offers indemnity

The knowing victim self-prophesized

A life wrought from their own misery

A soul-sick nation

Of children lost and never found

A soul-sick nation

Is burning to the fucking ground

Wherever we go, wherever we live

We’re haunted by our past

Our war-like minds in times of peace are agony

We want to move on, we want to forgive

And take the higher path

But madness kills tranquility

A soul-sick nation

Of children lost and never found

A soul-sick nation

Is burning to the fucking ground

The ones that exist to defeat us

Are demons that feast on the meek

They whisper their words from within us

To end it all

These voices inside that could free us

Live in uneasy harmony

They fight to destroy or uplift us

Which will you follow now?

Wherever we go, wherever we live

We’re haunted by our past

Our war-like minds in times of peace are agony

We want to move on, we want to forgive

And take the higher path

But madness kills tranquility

Horrified by a wretched life of stagnation

We slowly doom ourselves to walk the earth alone

Selfish act of sickening desperation

Start anew, subdue the pain that’s never gone

Rewrite the past, provide your justification

Self-medicate until we are numb

Salt the wounds of petty condemnations

Never own the fact of what we have done

Can we save ourselves

From a life of torment?

A vicious circle with no end to come

Masochistic acts

Hinder our fulfillment

Thwarts the will and our hope to move on

Horrified by a wretched life of stagnation

We slowly doom ourselves to walk the earth alone

Selfish act of sickening desperation

Start anew, subdue the pain that’s never gone

Rewrite the past, provide your justification

Self-medicate until we are numb

Salt the wounds of petty condemnations

Never own the fact of what we have done

Can we save ourselves

From a life of torment?

A vicious circle with no end to come

Masochistic acts

Hinder our fulfillment

Thwarts the will and our hope to move on

Keep running further and further away from the demons you hide

Your shadow will follow you

Pick up the pieces of your shattered fragile mind

The shards you conceal still remain broken

Wherever we go, wherever we live

We’re haunted by our past

Our war-like minds in times of peace are agony

We want to move on, we want to forgive

And take the higher path

But madness kills tranquility

A soul-sick nation

Of children lost and never found

A soul-sick nation

Is burning to the fucking ground
