A leash to the maw
A lash on broken frame
Progress creates this blessing
Battered, stunned, linked into circuits
The burden of consequence
Advance to revolution
Decaying truths and indiscretion
A leash to the maw
A lash on broken frame
Progress creates this blessing
Flattened, spun, pressed into service
The burden of consequence
Advance to revolution
Decaying truths and indiscretion
A litany of echoes breeding apathy away
Inert to the risk
Obscured within harm
Spiraling past every cognition
Brought to the heel by coercion's esteem
Incapacitating force has taken its hold
It carries the weight of the ages within
Stress approaching its fracture with moments of calm
A retold folly, with mimicked cadence
Relentless and callous
Flattened, spun, pressed into service
Repetitions strain
Every turn, a slow degrade
Perfect fit for ages
Trudging into mirrored faces
Lost senses stir within
Masking signals of alarm
Hymns will fade into the void
They're obscured within the harm
