by self apathic lightning above the earth they reign
levels of mass appealing essence provided by their fear
Testify by the laws of suffocated traditions
a way of self arranged punishment
a breed of slime
Further than the eye of serenity
Closer to the edge of the sun
realisticly abused society
faces the outcomes of eternity
