Descent
BOTIS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sight, lost in the night, desperation
Descent into madness, depraved
Asylum once sought before death
The sickness endures
Evermore, it endures
Raging it's wars
Inside the walls painted red
While the prosperity dies

Demise, chasing the years spent alive
Confining and raping the hope
The void is counteracting the comfort
And the fate misaligned
Memories
Weakening
With obstruction of life and the onset of death
And the blackest domain is where he'll weave his web

Volcano, under the skin eternal
Creating a world without light




Surrounded by death and destruction
The future is bleak
