Lyrics
The earth it turns, and you're still no closer today
The earth continues its rotation, but your progress or proximity to a goal remains elusive.
Your time flitters away until nothing remains
Your time is fleeting away, leaving you with nothing in the end.
And as the encroaching darkness comes, what will your servitude bring?
As darkness approaches, what will your commitment or obedience bring?
The very thing that brings you hope, is what you should most fear
The very thing that gives you hope should be the one you fear the most.
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, save us is your prayer
Repeated plea to Jesus Christ for salvation.
You're all gonna die, all gonna die as mortal men
All individuals will face mortality and death.
And as the encroaching darkness comes, no-one is exempt
Darkness comes for everyone, and no one is exempt.
No outstretched hand of god you extolled in your daily prayers
Your prayers for help from a benevolent deity remain unanswered.
No outstretched hand of god
Reiteration of the absence of divine assistance.
You greet each day with faith and little more
You approach each day with faith but little else.
A constant hope that something better will be your reward
A constant hope for a better future is your motivation.
And as the encroaching darkness comes, what will your servitude bring?
Questioning the outcome of devotion as darkness approaches.
Yes as the encroaching darkness comes, what will your subservience bring?
Reiteration of questioning the consequences of subservience.
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, save us is your prayer
Repeated plea to Jesus Christ for salvation.
You're all gonna die, all gonna die as mortal men
All individuals will face mortality and death.
And as the encroaching darkness comes, no-one is exempt
Darkness comes for everyone, and no one is exempt.
As the encroaching darkness comes yes, no-one will be spared
No one will be spared as darkness approaches.
While we hail the glory of blackness absolute and you fear the on set of blackness absolute
Celebrating the glory of absolute blackness while acknowledging fear of its onset.
No amount of faith will dull this razor truth when we're all engulfed in blackness absolute
Faith cannot shield the harsh reality when engulfed in absolute blackness.
While we hail the glory of blackness absolute
Reiteration of celebrating the glory of absolute blackness.
And subservience has yielded you with nothing
Servitude has yielded nothing.
And you fear the onset of blackness absolute
Fear of the impending absolute blackness.
And you won't even be aware until you're too dead to realise
Awareness of the impending doom only comes when it's too late.
No amount of faith will dull this razor truth, your life is yours and there is but one
Faith cannot shield the harsh truth that there is only one life.
We're one and all engulfed in blackness absolute
All individuals are consumed by absolute blackness.
I pity those who live it bound in the shackles of blind faith
Expressing pity for those bound by the shackles of blind faith in absolute blackness.
