The Way Of All Flesh

Goddamned X


Born into this world so proud 
With high hopes and idealistic views 
But soon a voice inside gets loud 
To question all, to fing the truth 
Fear sets in at the perception 
That this life's the only, nothing follows 
Hopelessness leads to stagnation 
As a life once full turns to hollow 

Born into a godless world 
Where no hope remains 
Attempts to explain mortality 
Fail, are all in vain 

A web of lies and mendacity 
Keeps you from falling down 
Into an abyss of misery 
But of the web there's no way out 
No religion could ever tell you 
Cause in the end they all must fail 
So does every ideology 
In reality there's only tooth and nail 

The way of all flesh 
Has just one common sign 
It's the path to your death and you will 
Chase down the line
