Who amongst us will die tonight?
Hateful of all else
Who amongst you hides in fright?
Who seeks the dark, a bitter thrill—
Hateful, broken, cold and still?

Who amongst us wears a smile?
Who among you walks in chains,
Is it truth, or just denial,
Bound to echoes, silent pains?

Who amongst us lies awake,
Haunted by choices we can't shake?
Who among you feels the weight,
Of a fate you cannot break?

Lies, all lives—woven tight.
Do you hear them whisper low,
Hateful of the masks we wear,
The truths we bury deep below?

Who amongst you lies with ease?
Fearing the truth, hiding the flame,
Binding souls in silent games,
Pretending peace amidst disease?

Who amongst you hides the blade,
Feels the sting, watches it fade?
Who amongst us ties the rope,
Clinging to threads of shattered hope?

Who among you longs for death,
Seeks escape from every breath?
Who amongst us falls so deep,
That even sleep offers no peace?

Lies, all lies—they burn inside,
Still they lead where we can’t hide.
For those who fall, it’s not the end—
What waits for them, no soul can mend.

Justice comes, and it will be fair.
No soul escapes what's waiting there.
The pain you seek to leave behind,
Meets you again, no peace to find.

Who among you holds the weight,
Of losing those you couldn’t save?
If they left by choice or fate,
Their peace is not beyond the grave.

Who amongst us feels the grief?
Who amongst you seeks relief?
Know this—those you loved, now gone,
Have found no pain; they’ve moved beyond.

Who amongst us waits to fall,
With trembling hands and distant call?
Who among you seeks the grave,
Hoping to find what once they gave?

Good lives, lost lives—who survives?
Who amongst us wastes the soul,
Watching darkness take its toll,
As fragile hope no longer thrives?

Who amongst us holds the blade,
And feels the silence start to fade?
Know this, dear one: the end you seek,
Is not the peace for which you weep.

Lies, all lives—we let them break,
But still they bind for our own sake.
Who among you walks alone,
Haunted by the weight of bone?

Who amongst us truly fights,
While trapped beneath these endless nights?
Who among you hides the tears,
While others lost are free from fear?

Who amongst you is reading now?
Feeling the weight of every vow?
Who amongst us will die tonight?
