Warning: if misery is a current mood, do not read any further.
1. Agony, my friend
In the dark corner, surmise
My impending doom
2. Misfortune mature
In an Amalgamation
Evoking anguish
3. Great cloud of twilight
Which creeps in subtle states from
Dawn to dusk, untouched
4. Bloodline curse bestowed
Upon the fated bastard
Begat of brute loins
5. Deep the jaws of grief
That devours contentment,
To shit out despair
6. Divine fortune ebbed
As chance flees this dastardly
Game of existence
7. Vast tree, forsaken
The branch siphoned of majic
‘Til none prevail
8. Life manufactures
Anguish with every angle
No matter the trend
9. Nightmares manifests
From much dismay and peril
Dwindling all our hope
10. Suckle my pain out
From this broken place, derived
From all this sadness
