Presence of Great Sadness Lyrics

BEING AT MY LAST GASP BUT I CONTINUE ONWARD
WITHOUT HESITATION I PUT ANOTHER STEP FORWARD
WILL I FALL INTO THE ABYSS OR WILL I FEEL THE GROUND UNDER MY FEET ?

GIVE ME BACK THE MEANING OF TRUTH
IF I COULD BE ABOVE ALL THAT
GIVE ME BACK THE MEANING OF LIE
EVERY SIN SEEMS TO BE THE SAME

SOMETIMES I SPRINKLE IT WITH WHITE POWDER
AND SOMETIMES I BRUSH OFF ALL THE DUST AND DIRT FROM IT
RAIN AND DARKNESS FOR TRANQUILLITY
TINY SPARKS PULSING WITH THEIR OWN DREAD

EVERYTHING ROTS, NEW BEINGS INFECT
WITH THEIR DEADNESS THOSE WHO HAS NOT FALLEN YET
THE SEARCH GOES ON
THE GOAL IS KNOWN
WHATEVER IT TAKES, WITHOUT SELF-CONTROL

GIVE ME BACK THE MEANING OF TRUTH
IF I COULD BE ABOVE ALL THAT
GIVE ME BACK THE MEANING OF LIE
EVERY SIN SEEMS TO BE THE SAME

SOMETIMES I SPRINKLE IT WITH WHITE POWDER
SOMETIMES I BRUSH OFF ALL THE DUST AND DIRT FROM IT
RAIN AND DARKNESS FOR TRANQUILLITY
TINY SPARKS PULSING WITH THEIR OWN DREAD
