I know I’m as guilty as they, a coward slave to a one man game.
Can’t change my mind; I was born to fade, buried under the weight.
The world suffers at our feet, architects of our own defeat.
Mistakes left doomed to repeat.
Fools hiding greed behind a veil of sorrow, and feigning disbelief.
These modern death marches through bleached ivory streets.
Controlling with chaos, rule of law through deceit.
I watched the world burn, not a second to waste.
Trading trust in one’s own, replaced by pillars of faith.
With a dark corner chapel and an idol to praise.
Blind to you; suffer quietly.
Blind to me; crows gather to feast.
Build the temple; burn for heat.
Crows gather to feast.
Clouds will cover, the sun will cease.
Secrets I swore my life to keep.
Blind to you; blind to me.
Suffer quiet so no one sees.
Cross to bear; lost in repeat.
All hidden underneath.
We watched the world burn, until the sun goes cold.
I know I’m as guilty as they, a coward slave to a one man game.
Can’t change my mind; I was born to fade, buried under the weight.
