Give up on Joy
Surrendering Hope: Shadow Domain's Poetic Reflection on Lost Joy
Lyrics
We drain our existence like we would quench a fire
We deplete our existence as if extinguishing a fire.
Until all dread and wonder vanish from our sight
Until all fear and amazement disappear from our view.
Our soul is filled with neither elation nor pain
Our soul lacks both joy and sorrow.
We trample our heart, so it never reigns
We suppress our heart, preventing it from ruling.
Give up on Joy
Renounce the pursuit of joy.
Eden is forever lost
The paradise is irreversibly lost.
There will be nothing left when we will be six feet under
Nothing will endure after our demise.
Hope will destroy
Hope is a destructive force.
A heaven that is forever lost
A perpetual heaven is no more.
There will be nothing left so we must all surrender
Nothing will persist, so we must yield.
To suffer loss and never recover our fire
We endure loss without recovering our passion.
All broken bones and wounds that lionize our lives
Our lives glorify brokenness and wounds.
Our soul is filled with neither elation nor pain
Our soul remains devoid of joy or pain.
We trample our very heart, so it never revives
We crush our heart, preventing its revival.
Give up on Joy
Abandon the pursuit of joy.
Eden is forever lost
The paradise is irrevocably lost.
There will be nothing left when we will be six feet under
Nothing will persist after our burial.
Hope will destroy
Hope is a force that leads to destruction.
A heaven that is forever lost
A perpetual heaven is no more.
There will be nothing left so we must all surrender
Nothing will endure, so we must surrender.
We know the sure way to pick distrust over confidence
We consistently choose distrust over confidence.
Should we find the crux of life, we would still vilify
Even if we discover the essence of life, we would condemn it.
Give up on Joy
Give up the pursuit of joy.
Eden is forever lost
The paradise is forever lost.
There will be nothing left when we will be six feet under
Nothing will persist after our burial.
Hope will destroy
Hope is a force that leads to destruction.
A heaven that is forever lost
A perpetual heaven is no more.
There will be nothing left so we must all surrender
Nothing will endure, so we must surrender.
