The enchanted fairy-tales of our youth; br That ancient fool that met existence, br And slaughtered in its corruption; br Leaving but a boundless chasm, br A deprived mind in a tangled maze, br A Hopeless being on the pursuit, br For that next satisfying fix; br Drugs! br Sex! br Alcohol! br Anything that confirms we are still alive; br Oh, this is the great Hedonist Philosophy, br Of a Godless Nihilist Age!br br Isaac Simmondsbr br
