Wandering aimlessly, stricken with grief
Self-hatred overflowing
It’s eating away
It’s eating away, obstructing virtue
Overwhelming and growing
The enduring might of hatred
Obscuring the strength of love

There are those who live deriving pleasure
From others’ anguish and mental distress
Complete selfishness providing purpose
Compelling us to digress
The enduring might of hatred
Obscuring the strength of love

Tainting the innocent
With spiteful contempt
Tainting the innocent
A shallow, misshapen intent

Oblivious to out hardship
Rehearse the solemn ritual

Wandering aimlessly, stricken with grief
Self-hatred overflowing
It’s eating away
It’s eating away, obstructing virtue
Overwhelming and growing
The enduring might of hatred
Obscuring the strength of love

Tainting the innocent
With spiteful contempt
Tainting the innocent
A shallow, misshapen intent
