Jack Ketch
Embracing Darkness: Unveiling the Brutal Reality in 'Jack Ketch'
Lyrics
Living in lie little by little you learn to pretend
Living in a falsehood, gradually adapting to pretending.
And this helps you to coexist with human nature
Pretending helps in coexisting with human nature.
The truth is that it's far from the life you can dream about
The reality is far from the ideal life one can dream of.
It's a life in which you decide their worthless fates
Living a life where you determine the worthlessness of others' destinies.
Deliberate decay is the price of indifference
The intentional deterioration is the consequence of apathy.
Morbid mind is a retribution for life in lie
A disturbed mind is the payback for a life built on lies.
And there's no pity when you see them suffocating
No compassion when witnessing others suffocate.
No fucking pity when you see them dying
No sympathy when witnessing others die.
Only spilling blood you feel alive
Feeling alive only through shedding blood.
Only execution of the ones of your own kind can justify you
Justifying oneself through the execution of one's own kind.
But the moment will come when you'll have to look into yourself
A moment will come when self-reflection reveals a profound emptiness.
And the only thing you'll find is the piercing void
Upon introspection, only a profound void is discovered.
Lacking for sense of compassion
Lacking a sense of compassion.
You administer your own justice
Administering personal justice without empathy.
Your personal code of an executioner helps you to structure the chaos inside
A self-defined code of an executioner brings order to inner chaos.
Day by day your hunger grows stronger and stronger
Each day, an insatiable hunger intensifies without restraint.
And you've got no power to keep it in check
Powerless to control the growing hunger.
No power to pretend
Unable to pretend any longer.
A breathless body is getting colder
A lifeless body grows colder without evoking guilt.
But you feel no guilt
No remorse, regretting nothing.
Regretting nothing
(Empty line)
You're waiting for exhalation
Awaits the final breath without emotional burden.
