Picture Perfect

We watched the long nightfall in dead silence

When the forest smoke rises (When the forest smoke rises)

Get stuck in these walls we built ourselves

As if we are held in Eris's arms (We are held in Eris’s arms)

Above the ashes of fallen heroes

Their dreams and visions

Are lost below the surface

Where are the ones who said they'd rise?

Always testify

Under oath

Composing a new truth

And spreading old lies

Never mystify

No self-loathing

Composing a new truth

And spreading old lies

Nightfall will come again

The smoke has vanished elsewhere (The smoke has vanished elsewhere)

Before the signal of a new dawn

Their vows forgotten in the zephyr

Like the water of Lethe (Like the water of Lethe)

Ignorance is bliss

I remain a futurist

Reign

The heavy rainfall upon us

Shrouding clouds of darkness

Let the water whisk it away (Let the water whisk it away)

Where are the ones who said they'd rise?

We are still standing here

Always testify

Under oath

Composing a new truth

And spreading old lies

Never mystify

No self-loathing

Composing a new truth

And spreading old lies

Without yelling compromise

In the end we will carry the day

Paint a bright future

In the end we will carry the day

Paint a bright future
