Analysis of Oblivion

Bane 1988 (albama)



Relinquish my soul into oblivion.
I'm prepared to face the abyss.
Release me from the chains of life.
For even hell couldn't hurt like this.
Let my spirit coalesce with the stars.
Take my hand and lead me to the light.
I am but a hollow destruction here.
Lost in the despondent night.
My heart is heavy with all I've lost.
I'm stained with the filth of existing.
Oh but what could be more peaceful
Than to fall into a sleep unremitting.
I have no place where I belong
There is no solace, i'm denied peace of mind.
Im choking on the ashes
Of the burning skin in which I'm confined.
