En gammal text om hjälplös hopplöshet


THE PROMISE OF OUR DESTRUCTION

We’re making love with the stars
Thinking it will save the universe
But the universe can never help us
From the enemy that lies inside the sun

No prayer and no hymn will be the salvation
No whisper four o’clock in the morning will be heard
Humankind is already doomed to meet its own destruction
We are just insects to dumb to even see it come

No light can keep the darkness away forever
No darkness can keep away the painful light
We have each other until we are dying
But no one will hold the hand of a dying child

And we try to speak calm to our souls
Telling lies about how things could have been
But the truth is so much more frightening
Death doesn't care about how good we are

No god is upon us cause we already killed him
No devil lurks under us cause we never believed him
We are alone on this sad and dying planet
And the only confidence we have is the promise of our destruction
