Lyrics (unofficial)

The wood at the end of the worlds
A hole in the earth
She wobbles in her orbit
You can't think straight
You're frazzled beyond all belief
You've been whipped and chained and dined and wined
You had all the drugs
Now you're succumbing
Now it's all pulling you down
No surrender for you, you fight right to the edge
Bound and beaten you stand, no remorseful
Hooded in deep shadow like the afternoon itself
Evening coming with no good in its heart
Evening on black crow wings, descending to earth
What will crawl out of the hole
When darkness hammers down her curtain
What stupid monstrosity has fate dished up for you to scorn
You do your bad deeds and you gloat
Ignorance is bliss, thus you are euphoric
Some new punishment the elders have dreamed up for you to endure
Some Nietzsche-like axiom or some ??? [3:41] grime
Some nightmare caused by weeks without sleep
Some nightmare caused by an intake of poisons
Some vision conjured from my burned out camera
Some photo developed in the darkest room
Yes, you're captured and this moment will last forever
You really are a sinful, evil person, you know?
You love to be cruel, you love to hurt and shock to the very core
Deep inside you, your one thought that no one really existed but you
And you thought you'd go on cheating at this life
And that the loaded dice you roll would never be discovered
A strange place to be
There can be no punishment for you that you would feel
You'll never wake up and just come good
You're a shape-shifting Loki who thrives on mischief and misery
You'll never have the balls to understand that like a real man
You'll never understand until the axe falls and hell calls
