Obligatory Suffering Songtext
von Earth Eater

Stuck in my head for eternity
With no way out in sight
Told my whole life I′m a burden
Grievances fuel this fight

Trudge through this empty life too vacant too cast a shadow
Is this all there is too life
Will I find redemption

I am the man in the nightmares
I am the keeper of the scythe

Hold close all of your failures
Let them eat you alive

Zombified inside
My misery is special to the one who holds my marionette
Numbing pollution
Of my frail mind

A nightly violent awakening
Plucked from the temporary relief
Slip back into a state

Fit for peasants


Stake me to the ground
Drive nails through my eyes

Trudge through this empty life too vacant too cast a shadow
Is this all there is too life
Will I find redemption
Hold close all of your failures
Let them eat you alive

Though emptiness clouds my eyes
I'll never compromise
I see through the guise

I valued misery in this mortal coil
Poetic lunacy you′ll burn and boil

You'll burn and boil
You'll burn and boil
You′ll burn
You′ll burn and boil

As I grasp for an absolution I must pay a fee blood washes over me

Voices in my head sing of crucifixion
I pledge my soul
A sign of my conviction


Zombified inside
My misery is special to the one who holds my marionette
Numbing pollution
Of my frail mind

Zombified inside
My misery is special to the one who holds my marionette
Numbing pollution
Of my frail mind
