Sunset on humanity, brought down by our own hand
Outcast from society, they cannot hope to understand
Nihilistic nightmares in which I never survive
Psychotropic dreams of Uranium 235
Xenophobic prisoner in self-constructed cell
Like Croft, I hate everything which is not in myself
Grasping in vain to all that is beautiful and pure
Infected with a pathogen for which there is no cure
I just want to live by an honourable code
Not to succumb to the lure of fool's gold
You say I'm still young but I feel so old
The big hard sun never felt so cold
I just can't let go no matter how hard I try
Of this one I considered a true love of mine
I guess I belong to a different time
Now stale is the bread and sour is the wine
And I miss you, I miss you now you're gone
Nothing, nothing lasts so long
Nothing, nothing matters anymore
No, nothing really matters when all of your gold is gone
