ive acquired a taste for money 
ive acquired a taste of speed 
and i dont think my life is giving me everything i need 
the artificial light 
the artificial sun 
burning in my eyes makes me feel like im the only one alive 

the past is very hard 
the future is very weak 
the present is carried on my back like a ton of despair 

if only i didnt know that someday im going to die 
i wouldnt need an excuse 
i wouldnt need to cope 
i wouldnt need to quit 
i wouldnt need a friend 
in a world without end 
in a world without end, amen 

ive fallen into my soul 
into the bottomless pit 
deeper and deeper i fall 
and to lot myself go insane 
wouldnt be very hard at all 

crawling through my conscience 
is like crawling through a sewer 
deeper and deeper i go 
and you know i die when i get too old 

if only i didnt know that someday im going to die 
i wouldnt need an excuse 
i wouldnt need to cope 
i wouldnt need to quit 
i wouldnt need a friend 
in a world without end 
in a world without end, amen
