NDC w.29 Genre: Psychedelic Rock Theme: Portal Lyrics: These gateways are filled with sharp stones and grit, a mind like a child's trapped in an adult's face The edges cut deep, the bystanders weep, everyone bears scars as the atmosphere shifts With elbows like daggers, accusations like storms, every interaction a war, yet no one controls your path Portals of emptiness, portals of false heroes, everything distorted from the chambers you command (echo: command) No sanctuary exists, nowhere to conceal, in your kingdom lies only treachery (echo: treachery) [Hook] No trace of humor remains No whisper of love survives Just echoes of your words, your thoughts Merely echoes, endless echoes A single word (hate, hate, hate) When pain strikes, when wounds open, salvation vanishes, only punishment remains, fulfilling your desires (echo: desires) Ruling through destruction, diminishing others' worth, honor, health, reason, fortune and wealth Gathering in one realm, sowing discord in another, spreading venom and rumors, turning allies to enemies Embracing darkness, rejecting light, gossip becomes your sustenance, a toxic harvest no soul can endure The predator lurking online could be anyone – your mother, neighbor, community leader, even an innocent child [Hook] No trace of humor remains No whisper of love survives Just echoes of your words, your thoughts Merely echoes, endless echoes A single word (hate, hate, hate) [Extended outro] So seek out portals where warmth resonates, where souls appreciate you and offer genuine aid There exist doorways to paradise, pathways to darkness, and spaces between where you choose your dwelling place [Bridge] Heed these warnings of what to avoid (echo: avoid) [Hook] No trace of humor remains No whisper of love survives Just echoes of your words, your thoughts Merely echoes, endless echoes A single word (hate, hate, hate)
