Of Human Depravity

from Abandon The Light by Valley of Snakes

lyrics

In a pitch black fate
I end up in this place full of decay
Crowds of fiends
Paying to see
Endless screams from my withered being
I plead
The red room is not what it seems
It doesn't provide the answers that you seek
Still they ignore my agony
Force nails through my feet
I grit my teeth in suffering

And here I find myself
In a contraption of hell
There is a man tied down opposite to me
We are forced to compete relentlessly
He screams
And pleads
That we
Shouldn't obey what they say
We are tortured into submission
Forced to play this sickening game

This place a living hell
No hope, No life, No doubt
We take turns pulling teeth from our rotten mouths
Pain measured in units for the crowd
They watch
Until
The end
Hoping to see our deaths
But they won't get nothing from it
Just entertainment through dopamine hits

We are pawns subjected to misery
Our only worth is our agony
I see humans
No humanity
Fiends giving in to depraved insanity
Manically they watch suffering happening

The blades come out
WIth the cheering from the crowd
Slowly we remove the flesh from where it's usually found
The screams are so loud
Everyone is so proud
Reluctantly we tear the ligaments from our bones out.

Despair comes to find me again
Amidst all the agony I feel before death

Humans are ever so sickening
Depraved creatures indulging in suffering
They can't escape what leads them into this place
A hidden pleasure that exists beneath their peaceful gaze

I bleed into a cup so they're satisfied
Stripping flesh from my impulsive life
A servant of pain in this moment of time
I take the knife and start to sever ties
Cutting the throat of my opponent
To gracefully spare him the fight

We are pawns subjected to misery
Our only worth is our agony
I see humans, No humanity
Fiends giving in to depraved insanity
Manically they watch suffering happening

Dragged before a pit of fire
They engulf two strands of wire
Piercing them into my eyes
Melting out the whites
Blisters formulate inside

Blinded but I can see the life
Draining out of my melted eyes
Punishment for my sacrifice
Sparing the pain of another has led to this hateful demise

Humans are ever so sickening
Depraved creatures indulging in suffering
They can't escape what leads them into this place
A hidden pleasure that exists beneath their peaceful gaze

A colosseum of sorts
The crowd begs for death and they get what they want
But they know nothing of the pain I've absorbed
They overwatch with pleasure as I suffer the sword

I am fearless
I become a corpse
The blade crushes through my spinal cord
Still I know only of the pain I've absorbed
I leave this life I no longer adore
Moments after death I can hear them rave
Pleasured sexually by the torment they crave
My headless body twitching within it's grave
Burning my remains as they celebrate

Finally the torment leaves me
I now surrender completely
Finally the torture leaves me
I can escape, eternity
Finally the sickness leave me
Giving into complete serenity
Finally the savages free me
I walk into death
So freely
