Lyrics All Must Wither - Human Future

All Must Wither

Nothing
Not anything
Beyond this is naught
Any wishes to linger indefinitely
Are mere emblems of our species' fearful ignorance
Benevolent though they may be
They prolong our species mental infancy
No pain
No longer
No senses
There will be no trace beyond the atoms that formed you
Merging with the whole irrespective of cognisance
From that which carried our weight upon it’s back
We shall eventually return
Your perception has eroded
Snuffed out with the final beat
All caution and passion negated
No chance of reprieve
What is left will fester away
Stripped of consciousness
The last breath punctuating
Maybe memories will persevere
In the superseding
Generations have failed to conquer
Others favour illusions of eternal life
None will ever venture
Into such metaphysical states
Spirituality is a farce
For all that divides
We converge in decline
United by decay
This dichotomy is inescapable
