Misanthropic Reflections: A Symphony of Hate and Annihilation
Lyrics
Right from the start
Expressing the beginning or origin.
We all have been afraid
Universal experience of fear.
Of death and sorrow in our lives
Fear of death and sorrow as common themes in life.
Hopelessness relieved by the
Finding relief from hopelessness.
Red face

-From an anxious mind
Blackened by anxiety.
Thoughts so prevalent
Overwhelming thoughts taking control.
Taking over everything
-I am left with nothing but hate
Left with nothing but hatred.
Misanthropic mind
Possessing a hatred for humanity.
Alone in the dark I stand
Isolation and darkness.
The planes come crashing down
Imagery of destruction and death.
Carcasses amass to the streets

Advocating destruction, sparing only oneself.
Give death to all but me

Breeds war through aeons
Hostility breeding war throughout time, refusal to back down.
Never to back down from the carnage

Reiteration of destructive planes.

Re-emphasizing the misanthropic mindset in darkness.
Alone in the dark I stand
Isolation and darkness persist.

Intense gaze of death and a mind ablaze with hatred.
His eyes are on fire like his mind
