In the Wake of Emptiness Lyrics

utter devastation, the ravaging of faith
disbelief floods the mind, a collapsing vertigo takes hold
despair reigns all consciousness, darkness overrules

there is no use in understanding what once begot all purpose
now that the confines of judgement have dissolved

betrayed by perception, what has become of truth
never before has sense been so disorienting
drowning in this wake of emptiness

trust not the vestige of reason
all thoughts tainted by fear and confusion

revelation?
the illusion falters, the artifice transparent
the bitter lies have been unveiled
now unleash the perils of reality

wrench free of this debilitation
relinquish dominion of the soul

accept the devastating consequence
of trust and faith in a world of mendacity

seize control from the clutches of sorrow
devoid of manipulative emotion
no more the victim of hope and hollow desire
acquiesce to the all-consuming emptiness
