Analysis of Oblivion
Torn apart and screaming
Blinding blackness surrounded by light
The twisted feelings of pleasure
Ground out into oblivion
Rage is heat from a futile fire
Paltry protection from a frozen soul
Barren wastelands spreading like disease
Blood from an unclean moon burns crimson
And oblivion comes into my mind
