Cocytus

It crawls

It moves

It eats and consumes

It sins and sins

It does again and again

It gets hungry to sin more

It gets itself in trouble

It drags itself deeper

It will feel the pain double

It keeps on and on until it’s numb

It tried so hard but its heart is done

It couldn’t defeat sin

It is sin

We are sin

You can’t win

This is the punishment

From which you can’t repent

Eternity lament

You are shown images that make no sense

Just like the ones that we make up

There’s no such thing as being just

The rules cannot and will not forgive

And you never asked to have to live…

Just watch the faces eat and bleed...

Do you see how much things can hurt?

You’ll have to touch the world machine

Feel the hum of everyone’s heart

It’s intense enough to change you

Can you feel the chill?

Frozen sheep get forgotten

Just wait and wait and watch and watch 24/7.

We are all sin

Though some of us are worse

This isn’t justice

This is Cocytus

Fighting fire with ice

Fighting treachery with treachery
