about

based on a tom hanks film... but it's not.

lyrics

Cast away
stranded on poison sand
here to stay
forever upon this leprous island
days
drift into years of waste
no escape
from the dark prison walls that your soul makes

dark prison walls...
tower above

live like an angel - with broken wings
cast down, to live in your filth - disease crawling over my skin

I live with your failure - I'm caught within
I drown, impotent and failing cadaver enthroned rotting king

let me shake you, by your hand
welcome to hell

Cast away
stranded on poison sand
here to stay
forever upon this leprous island
days
drift into years of waste
no escape
from the dark prison walls that your soul makes

You feel the contagion – this place exists
to prove, that you are nothing – you're worthless your life meaningless

an abstract equation – x equals you
zero – a fraction of something still beating in the cavern of a dead mans chest

let me shake you, by your hand
welcome to hell

unending the night draws closer...
shadows dilate in the dusk
and the darkness swallows

and as I stumble blindly
the echos of life in the light
still resound in the hollows
of my soul

Cast away
stranded on poison sand
here to stay
forever upon this leprous island
days
drift into years of waste
no escape
from the dark prison walls that your soul makes
