DEATH CULT 69 – Hell On Earth [Official Music Video]
"The Way of All Flesh" conveys a sense of total despair and a starkly exposed human nature. Here, an unrelenting passion and a grim pull toward freedom intertwine with the awareness of an inevitable end. Like in a black mass, there is no room for solace: the simple and severe truth about life’s transience, the cult of suffering, and the ritual of liberation prevails.
"The Way of All Flesh" raises the question of what it means to be human when all earthly commotion proves to be merely a prologue to the final dissolution into darkness.

Hell on Earth
Oh, this world is a funeral pyre
Set to burn us down
Yeah, the root of all pain is desire
But I embrace it
We were meant to die young from the start
So I'm living fast
Take my money, take all that I own
I will be free
Oh, they keep adding wood to the fire
They keep giving birth
Yeah, the root of all pain is desire
But they deny it
We were meant to die young from the start
So I'm living fast
Take my money, take all that I own
Take it to the grave
Oh, I've seen the end
(Gather round and pray)
I've seen the world in flames, my friends
(For the end of days)
We'll all burn, my fellow sinners
Nothing sacred lies within us
Human life is a mistake
Earth is hell, we're all evil to the core
Heaven is to fade away and feel no more
Nothing's real because nothing lasts forever
All must be destroyed
Give in to the void
