Renouncing the World Lyrics

As I willed my aching bones forward
I realised that all my life
I had been trying desperately
To reach a gaping void,
and now that I have reached it,
the great precipice of nothingness,
I don't know how to go back.
I am lost and tired.
The restless stomach
Insatiable
Hungers always
It never settles
The seething embers
Of wanting
Burning desire
Burst into flames

A violent blaze is unleashed
Raging fierce and proud
A torrent of madness engulfs me
Once more enthralled
Carried away by empty longing
Without purpose or direction
Everywhere lost
Loathe this world
The tide is rising
Loathe this life

Show me what it means to suffer
To extinguish the flaming ember of hope
