Diary Of a Nihilist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Is this a dream or a nightmare?
Am I asleep or awake?
Chaos was always my ally
Evil was always my faith
Pale white my skin, black leather
Bloodshot my yellow eyes
Friends called me doomed denier
I was a hater of life
My mind was changing
They showed it on the news
Society is burning
Anger and madness
The world is going nuts
Exceeding my own badness
I worshiped Satan
But now I'm cured
Took off my gothic outfit
And will walk holy ways
Meet me in church on Sunday
Time to pray
Humans destroying the planet
Plundering, ravenous race
I see the sinners and liars
Mega-corp laughs in my face
Demonic deeds and suffering
All hope forever lost
Hell came to earth
But no one gives a shit about the cost!
My mind was changing
They showed it on the news
Society is burning
Anger and madness
The world is going nuts
Exceeding my own badness
I worshiped Satan
But now I'm cured
Took off my gothic outfit
And will walk holy ways
Meet me in church on Sunday
Time to pray
Hurricane, fire and flooding
Famine and virus-attacks
Even the horsemen are jobless
Apocalypse made by us
Do we expect salvation?
Forgiveness for our shame?
Don't see the downward spiral?
Fuck off and die, who's to blame?
My mind was changing
They showed it on the news
Society is burning
Anger and madness
The world is going nuts
Exceeding my own badness!
I worshiped Satan
But now I'm cured
Took off my gothic outfit
And will walk holy ways
Meet me in church on Sunday
Time to pray
I worshiped Satan
But now I'm cured
Took off my gothic outfit
And will walk holy ways
Meet me in church on Sunday
Time to pray! Time to pray!
Diary of a nihilist! Time to pray!
