my mind has grown cold, my vision faded and blurred
a pandemonium of reanimation and ideals once thought absurd
my nightmares give birth to false hope & dreams
relentless animosity carving fissures in it's seams
our dying earth's venom bleeds my veins absent of truth

strangled in her arms Ive grown accustom to this abuse
malice is the only home that Ive ever known
her passion of hatred splintering my flesh like stone
ive inherited this vision at the price of my pride
much like the watchdog astray by his blind master's side

consume their lies, forgive not the sins we've committed
close your eyes as the dead are condemned whilst their killers acquitted
I think too fucking much to become another one of their mindless slaves
& I care too much to stand idle as my brothers are forced to dig their own graves
Ive grown to despise the conformity that plagues this dreaded race

ill burn the world to ashes just so that they remember I was one with this place
tonight tragedy weeps for masked men whom litter our barren land
the reaper proudly taking toll, leaving their legacies as nothing but grains of sand
I'm the same as you, that's why I'm not afraid, stay close in my arms so that i can save you from this blood thirsty crusade
Ill never fade away im always here, helplessly watching as they invade & fill young innocent minds with fear

Ive been sucked into this reality you believe a delusion of your hell
marked by nothing but forsaken memories of renegades who bled freely when they fell
yet silently i tread as solitude scorches its voice throughout my heart
ive no more blood to bleed for you, you sucked me lifeless from the start

after all who gives a shit about a dead man's life?
virulence consumes the forgotten, their innocence inherent with strife
& free minds always pursuing what ends in disaster
so instead we watch as neglectful pricks line up to abuse all we've sought after

who can say that the water is to blame if you drown?
just as misery is not to blame if you never made a sound
we are all at ease by the silence and fear that rules this domain
but there's only so much of this abuse that one can contain

I found comfort in my mind, my cradle of decay and ideal
behind broken dreams and torn memories one truth remained real
my freedom to dream and illuminate this forsaken reality
i can show you too, all you have to do is walk with me
