This thing that should not last Rummaging around in my own past From oblivion into neglect A genius born from brain defect My sense of self is killed By my own vacuity I'm thrilled There's nothing left of note Vanity shows overload The fleeting glory is a whore Transforming passion into blood red gore Erase the light End all sanity From curse to release: None shall sleep! Into endless nights Celebrate insanity From rage to the ease: None shall ever sleep! To transience I'll obey One minute closer to decay To repose is to isolate Into pale grey all colours fade My zeals and goals are raped My striking distance is reshaped Condition yet to be improved No way out and no way through None shall sleep, not even you Princess trembling in her room None shall ever know my name. The kiss of dawn will take you away The fleeting glory is a whore Feeding addiction forevermore The fleeting glory is a whore No one will know my name, an oath I swore O night, now vanish! Fade you stars, you're banished! Fade you moon, you're banished, too! And dawn brings victory
