Existential Terror

Fated to die, the gift of life is impermanence Evasion is unattainable No paradise nor inferno lie in wait No continuance of this false identity For existence implies nonexistence All shall return to the state of vacuity For the shedding of this mortal coil It is forthcoming but unknowable All life exists under death's shadow The end forever unseeable Quietus is the perpetual promise No immortality to be found What awaits beyond the boundaries of flesh What lies beyond the tunnel of light Repulsive thoughts, scenarios of death Exciting the most primal fear of man Staining the mind with existential terror Self-slaughter comes into consideration Visceral visions of lead piercing skull Erasing existence in but a moment No paradise nor inferno lie in wait No continuance of this false identity All life exists under death's shadow The end forever unseeable Quietus is the perpetual promise No immortality to be found What awaits beyond the boundaries of flesh What lies beyond the tunnel of light
