For Power

The fog, it shrouds all visions of, transparency Mind numbing, the specter of humanity's bane Remember when you were convinced you knew it all The answers lie beyond yours or my control Forget all the social capital, that road was wrong Tallying up all your pathetic, sad "victories" Paint a picture of pure perfection, the colours run Down that canvas you're so complacent, with calling home Rise above falsified Acts to alter your own Perception of yourself In the times you choose With lust for power comes The choice of annihilation We cannot let ourselves Fall to the temptation Ourselves, our friends, our possessions Will become null The bonds between all, light the match and watch them all burn Ourselves, our friends, our possessions Will become null The bonds between all, light the match and watch them all burn Rust falls off the illusory, and dormant seed Spewing forth fallacious acts of diplomacy Rain drops they dot my eyes in bare infamy Nothing stops the course earth's matriarch chooses to take Rise above falsified Acts to alter your own Perception of yourself In the times you choose With lust for power comes The choice of annihilation We cannot let ourselves Fall to the temptation Ourselves, our friends, our possessions Will become null The bonds between all, light the match and watch them all burn
