A Firm Foundation Of Unyielding Despair Lyrics

Verse one:
---

[Pre-Chorus]
“The whole temple of Man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins.”

[Chorus]
No fire
No heroism
No intensity of thought and feeling
Can preserve an individual life beyond the grave

[Pre-Chorus]
“Only on a firm foundation of unyielding despair can the soul’s habitation be safely built.”

[Chorus]
No fire
No heroism
No intensity of thought and feeling
Can preserve an individual life beyond the grave

...think of this obsession
May the ashes rise
So cold
---

[Pre-Chorus]
“Only on a firm foundation of unyielding despair can the soul’s habitation be safely built.”

[Chorus]
No fire
No heroism
No intensity of thought and feeling
Can preserve an individual life beyond the grave
