Fruitless

from Futile by Demogorgon

lyrics

I reap a harvest of sorrow
Sown from seeds of despair
Ploughing in a field of ash
Watered by fallen tears
The fruits of my labours
Crumble in my mouth
Leaving behind
The taste of bitterness
Still I struggle on
Cultivating
A fruitless harvest
A useless enterprise

Rotten to the core
Is the apple of life
Molding and decayed
Bereft of flavors
Poisoned soil and earth
Nothing grows
Tree of life withers
The roots rot away

The doves starve and die
As the vultures pick their bones
A bitter flock
A birdsong of woe
In the fields I toil
Broken back and spirits
Suffering
Under the weight of my failures

The tree of life stripped of bark
A gruesome scarecrow
To hang from dying branches
The scythe slices through
The fields of woe and shame
And leaves behind
A desolation

And there is poison in the soil
And the air is choked with death
The sun never shines here
And the only rain is tears
And there is mold and rot
It drives deep into the roots
It infects all I am and see
And it all falls away

I dig into the earth
Leaves of the tree life falling around me
The hole goes deeper and deeper
Down into my own Hell
What light remains fades away
As I dig myself into my grave
If you should find this field of mine
Fill this hole and leave me in my failure

The tree of life stripped of bark
A gruesome scarecrow
To hang from dying branches
The scythe slices through
The fields of woe and shame
And leaves behind
A desolation

I reap a harvest of sorrow
Sown from seeds of despair
Ploughing in a field of ash
Watered by fallen tears
The fruits of my labours
Crumble in my mouth
Leaving behind
The taste of bitterness
Still I struggle on
Cultivating
A fruitless harvest
A useless enterprise
