The enchanted fairy-tales of our youth;
That ancient fool that met existence,
And slaughtered in its corruption;
Leaving but a boundless chasm,
A deprived mind in a tangled maze,
A Hopeless being on the pursuit,
For that next satisfying fix;
Drugs!
Sex!
Alcohol!
Anything that confirms we are still alive;
Oh, this is the great Hedonist Philosophy,
Of a Godless Nihilist Age!
