about

pursuit of despair

track-by-track series available on my YT channel where you'll find all the information about every song from the album :)

lyrics

It comes in three succeeding waves
Never-ending cycle of your days
You seem to have lost that inner voice
That would lead you through this void

Sinking in this mud of despair
The first wave will bring you to your knees
It comes at the smallest hint of you
Obsessing ‘bout your biggest fears
Resigning to self-pity and
Giving up your hopes and dreams

You must never give into seductive voice
This is the easiest choice
You need to find a way to oppose
And let her go

After this everything you are
The most pathetic you so far
This is when the second wave hits
And break the remaining hope to bits

Hopelessness is name of the song
This wicked siren’s lurking you with in the sea
As of now you’re pretty fucked up and lost
Getting beyond the saving quay
Complete surrender’s the third wave
Avoid it, fight before it’s too late

You must never give into seductive voice
This is the easiest choice
You need to find a way to oppose
And let her go

solo (Rusnák)
solo (Bankov)

You must never give into seductive voice
This is the easiest choice
You need to find a way to oppose
And let her go

No, you must never give into increasing doubt
And take the easy way out
You need to find a way to oppose
And let her go
