Lyrics

Forsaken world, unfurled
On an edge of dead space.
As blinded eyes survey the remains
of its desolate landscape.
And they'll sit and wonder
how this all came to be.
The total mad backward-dancing
of a captain beyond critique.
After it's all slipped away,
Did you find yourself?
As opportunity passes and friendships die,
Did you make your wealth?
Greatness calls, but glory also fades..
For vanity's crimes, wisdom often pays
After it's all slipped away,
Did you find yourself?
As opportunity passes and friendships die,
Did you make your wealth?
And even then, the riches never buy your way into peace of mind.
Empire of ash left in decay,
And you're by yourself
Searching for blame, it's all the same culprit standing before them.
Yet they fail to see how ego breeds
and creates such onus
When history always repeats,
You will find them boasting to be the clown who bears the crown in a kingdom crumbling.
Greatness calls, but glory also fades.
For vanity's crimes, wisdom often pays.
After it's all slipped away,
Did you find yourself?
As opportunity passes and friendships die,
Did you make your wealth?
And towards the end the moments pass us by, and you can't put a price on time.
Empire of ash left in decay,
And you're by yourself.
