Wandering aimlessly
Stricken with grief
Self-hatred overflowing

It's eating away
It's eating away
Obstructing virtue

Overwhelming and growing
The enduring might of hatred
Obscuring the strength of love


There are some who live deriving pleasure
From others' anguish

And mental distress
Complete selfishness
Provides a purpose

Compelling us to digress
The enduring might of hatred
Obscuring the strength of love


Tainting the innocent
With spiteful contempt

Tainting the innocent
A shallow, misshapen intent


Oblivious to our hardship
Rehearse the solemn ritual


Oblivious to our hardship
Rehearse the solemn ritual


Wandering aimlessly
Stricken with grief
Self-hatred overflowing

It's eating away
It's eating away
Obstructing virtue

Overwhelming and growing
The enduring might of hatred
Obscuring the strength of love


Tainting the innocent
With spiteful contempt

Tainting the innocent
A shallow, misshapen intent
