A Myriad Misfortunes

The heart of humanity collapses into dust A myriad misfortunes still to fall upon us Behind a curtain of lies is the truth of our apathy We cannot hide forever from this painful reality It's grim looking forward. Hard to picture a future at all We can't keep moving forward. We've already seen empires fall The fields have all been scorched and all the wells are dry The hourglass is empty. We're living on borrowed time There's always room in the budget for death, but life will break the bank So many miles left to go in our path but we're running on an empty tank The upper echelons hide away, safe behind the walls of their ivory tower While we suffer for their comfort, they sit back laughing and drunk with power This is the hell we live in. God has abandoned us Approaching absolute self destruction All we seek is something to blame We destroy everything in our path All while believing in the prosper we feign We weren't always afraid Take us back to the solace that we remember But it was never real It's just a story for the dreamers and pretenders And who we really are Is all in the hate we try to defend This life is nothing but pain And I just wish it all would fucking end Bleed out these wretched creatures. All of the oceans turn red The void we've left fills the air, and there's no one left to bury the dead This is the hell we live in. God has abandoned us Approaching absolute self destruction All we seek is something to blame We destroy everything in our path All while believing in the prosper we feign We weren't always afraid Take us back to the solace that we remember But it was never real It's just a story for the dreamers and pretenders And who we really are Is all in the hate we try to defend This life is nothing but pain And I just wish it all would fucking end And I just wish it all would fucking end
