The Ultimate Desertion

from The Final Requiem for a Helpless World by Nadir

/

lyrics

“Like the world, of which he forms a part, man is governed by natural laws, regular in their course, consistent in their effects, immutable in their essence; and those laws, the common source of good and evil, are not written in the distant stars, or hidden in mysterious codes; inherent in the nature of terrestrial beings, interwoven in their existence, they are at all times and in all places present to man, they act upon his senses, they warn his understanding, and dispense to every action its reward or punishment. Let man then study these laws! Let him comprehend his own nature, and the nature of the beings that surround him, and he will know the regulators of his destiny; the causes of his evils, and the remedies he ought to apply.”

Volney's Ruins: Or, Meditations on the Revolutions of Empires

A secret power animating the universe –
“Gave to fire, motion and activity;
To air, elasticity;
Weight and density to matter”

Feeble work of the creator’s hand
Full of dreams and strife
He owes you nothing
And he gave you life

The world you’ve been placed in
Wasn’t made for you
You’ve only been granted the use of it
All the way through

Turned away from it all
Turned away from it all
Turned away from it all
Why have you?
