In Vain - Beyond the Pale

The fire of delusion burns higher
Contaminates the wretched soul
Malevolent and dire
Towards its heinous goal
The flame imperils all
Logic and reason will fall
Intellect's withdrawal
This is the final call

Where fear assails
Reason is swept away
Mans mournful wail
On the thoughtless path to decay
When such thoughts gain ground
The vile set out to betray
Until the villain is crowned
Beyond the pale

When stupidity stands uncontradicted
The senseless define existence
Where rationality is restricted
Affliction ravages with no resistance
The omen of death
On a dystopian path
Fueled by man´s wrath
As we gasp for breath

Where fear assails
Reason is swept away
Mans mournful wail
On the thoughtless path to decay
When such thoughts gain ground
The vile set out to betray
Until the villain is crowned
Beyond the pale
