The Fall

The end is coming The silence breeds the fall Our time has been wasted Spent it all, it all Penance waiting Ten thousand years we've toiled Been breaking the backs of others weighted Subjugated Down babe, come sleep The void is calling It all waits for me Just struggle softly Indemnifying Our debt belies dreams Our forest for the trees We covet blindly With all the writings on the wall You'd think we'd wake ourselves up But all this evil still persists When good people fail to stand up And innocence just turns to apathy Our pandering becomes a crutch Or pretense in spite of faculty We choose, and always choose wrong I tried To reconcile everything In the end I'm left with nothing Why, try Lost in our own reveries While the world is slowly burning No hope is left to find I wish things hadn't turned out this way I wish we didn't have to bear this terrible fate We have to decide what to do with the time we have But how do we decide when it all keeps happening again And nothing we can do will stop it That change will happen in time Our hope we cling to will try But in the end it's all a lie Just take a breath and close your eyes Gone, with all the wicked Our cries to God Unholy vengeance, judgement passed The final verdicts fall Our prayers were answered The flood begins We pay the piper, played our part And now we lay our sins With all the time we had to spend We still refuse to pay the price Ten thousand years and we're still beating Still deceiving lives It's still a sickness in our heads Exacerbated by the lies We tell ourselves it's all okay If it's just out of sight I tried To reconcile everything In the end I'm left with nothing Why, try Lost in our own reveries While the world is slowly burning
