Nihilistic and cynical...self explanatory to the title, we toil the years of life away for what purpose? We beg for our release in hopes of something better, but hardened by the rigors of life we know the stories of a peaceful afterlife are a lie, note the change from "learnt" to "heard".

Ah, now I understand. "we know the stories of a peaceful afterlife are a lie" refers to this passage:

"This I have heard: all ends in serene sleep all these sorrows are washed away as we lapse into the night

But I know it`s a lie"

Thanks! I love this song, because I think it's so damn true! And the music is great!
