Existential - Red Keep

Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra Meaningless is this all there is A flicker of life in a black forever? Shine a light on the bowels of Heaven Dark futures howl in her grip Frightening new constellations, headlong Press their scowls on Orion's lip Our earth is strangled From within and soon without Existential terror Four Horsemen our pall bearers Riding nightmares of purebred belief In the coming apocalypse Existential terror Furies spit on grave endeavours The world is a slippery reef Encircled by beasts of the sea 'neath an eclipse! Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra The more we know, all the more we quiver On our knees before prophecies Just begun or being sung for countless centuries Psalms carved deep into our psyches Our earth, newfangled Abrim with sin and fully undevout Existential terror Four Horsemen our pall bearers Riding nightmares of purebred belief In the coming apocalypse Existential terror Bleak winds blow storm-crow scarers The world is a slippery reef Encircled by beasts of the wing 'neath an eclipse A gnawing fear of death Of the great beyond Of the lessening bells of midnights left To dwell upon what the hell went wrong A perverse, reverse Pentecost Mass cataclysm, all is lost Accursed music of the spheres Ascends to score a bitter ending, here! Existential terror Pestilential errors fly In the face of planetary strife Existential terror Four Horsemen our pall bearers Riding nightmares of purebred belief In it's extermination! Decide, eyes scour blazing skies Time to embrace the inevitable We are all going to fucking die! Pulvis et umbra sumus Nothing but nothing remains Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra sumus Nothing but nothing remains Pulvis et umbra sumus Again Pulvis et umbra sumus Nothing but nothing remains Pulvis et umbra sumus

The existential threat that I always feel Nothing's happened yet today and yet I have to feel Danger near, danger here Nowhere to escape to and nobody there to hear As I now scream in fear, scream in fear The existential threat is drawing very, very near And they all look away, look away Can't they see the existential threat is on its way The existential threat that I tend to feel When I'm walking down the street or right behind the wheel Turning left, turning right Trying to escape the cloud that's close enough to feel And you may laugh out loud, laugh out loud The existential threat is always hanging about And you may say go away, say go away The existential threat is never going away Doctor gave me these, I said what are these? He said that they'll cure an existential type disease Doubt they will, doubt they will But I'm keen to try whatever, gimme that pill And he said here's the bill, here's the bill In the end they didn't work, I paid the whole bill Because insurance won't, they just won't Cover existential meds, I wish I had known How should I react under this attack Even when I'm standing up I feel I'm on my back Quagmire here, quagmire there I cannot elucidate the danger that is always there But it is looming large, extra large My semi-automatic weapon ready to discharge But it's a futile act, better pack The existential threat is bulletproof and looming large Sartre and Camus seemed to understand Something close to what I'm feeling though they were in France Deux Magots they would go Each comparing existential threats they came to blows And then the crowds came near just to cheer For the greatest existential threatened philosophe And it is comforting, comforting Then the comfort starts to very quickly fade away Did I wake you up, sorry if I did Guess I woke you up and also woke your little kid Threat outside, let me hide Just until the danger passes, then I'll go outside And have to come again, once again The existential threat is at your patio door And do not let it in, let it in When you fight the existential threat you will not win The existential threat that I always feel Lots of things have happened and I seek an even keel Danger near, danger far Nowhere to escape to and I'm racing in my car As I now scream in fear, scream in fear The existential threat is drawing very, very near As I now drive away, by the way Can't you see the existential threat is on its way
