Lust for money,
Creating meaningless lives,
The once-vibrant emotions
Now appear dull and pale,
Colors have turned gray.

I witness through your eyes
The world's downfall,
This darkness knows no end,
Chaos and hatred reign the land,
Looking around in despair.

I find machines bound by life,
Carrying a burden for eternity,
Man's pursuit of desires
Ends in the all-pervading truth,
Tired of pretending,

I feel like living among the dead,
Living among the dead...
Living among the dead...
