The Wretched Eidola

And all our hope fades away We give in to dismay And we approach our dying day The brightness from our hearth is gone We're at the crossroads, shadows long We've burned our bridges, and we've forgotten who we were All our beauty turned to vanity Cowards in depthless disguise They've taken me away from my home Our unity torn to shreds Our nation shipwrecked We waver in the storm Archaic ideals are lost to view Known to a hidden few Buried in unmarked graves We're headed for disaster We're headed for undoing The enemy lurks within Similar only in skin Vicious beasts our next of kin The wretched eidola Icons that we portrayed Beacons shattered and grey All our beauty turned to vanity Cowards in depthless disguise They've taken me away from my home The wretched eidola
