• The glory fades, the hourglass falls
    The once-bright flame flickers and dulls
    Now all that remains are ashes in a pile
    Reminding us all of what was once worthwhile
    As we rebuild walls we once tore down
    We muffle the tainted weather's wretched sound
    We lock each other out with civil unrest
    Discarding our sullen hearts
    Hollowing our chests

    Planting seeds of distrust with blinded lore
    The covenant word
    Rotting to the core

    Deity misanthropy; desire the descent
    Guillotine of atrophy; relinquish and relent
    Advent dissolution; replicate the dissent
    Cabinet confusion; complicate and repent

    Elusive dreams
    Dead-end scenes
    The means to an end, undoing the seams
    No one seems to have seen
    Just what we've been
    Marionettes on tangled strings

    Diluted dreams
    Dilated screams
    The means to an end, undoing the seams
    The hate you feed
    The deceit you breed
    You're killing us all for your greed
