Devoid is inspired by the anime Attack on Titan. The plot lines of Attack on Titan are intricate and layered, and it’s one of my favorite shows. I was watching a particularly dark episode and felt inspired to write from the perspective of a scout from the Survey Corps watching their fellow soldiers suffer.
lyrics
Empty thoughts
Empty mind
This vessel’s soul must have died
To watch a friend get eaten alive
Your name the final thing they cried
Commander lend us a hand
What’s next to do
Give the command
They swat us down like little flies
The only way out is inside
If I can’t kill them all
And I begin to fall
If this is all in vain
These words are all that remain
If I can’t kill them all
And I begin to fall
If this is all in vain
These words are all that remain
