What have we become?
Indiferent, blind eyes stare as
Innocents, battered and bruised
Release their dying breaths
This all-engulfing horror
Has rotten our hearts
Yet, with shivering hands, we
Still reach for the sun
And I scream in the darkenss,
Hoping someone hears,
The cries, the desperate longing
Of those who are still here.
Though we fought your wars with beauty,
We're blissfully ignored.
When reason succumbs to slumber
The monsters rule the world.
What wakeless nightmare
With uncertainty as
The only constant...
Enslaved by your greed,
You traded our lives away
In a worthless bid
To survive
But time cannot forgive
The death of all these dreams.
As empires crumble to dust
Our fates remain eternally sealed.
Let the fire come
And cleanse this world
A new dawn to rise
From the ashes of our failure.
And I scream in the darkness,
Hoping someone hears,
The cries, the desperate longing
Of those who are still here.
Though we fought your wars with beauty,
We're blissfully ignored.
When reason succumbs to slumber
The monsters rule the world.
And I scream in the darkness,
Hoping someone hears,
The cries, the desperate longing
Of those who are still here.
And we fought your wars with beauty,
But no one seems to care.
One final revelation...
We all bitterly died in vain.
