Yesteryear

I claim a story for thee A tale from all sinners with murder and greed Learning from villains and thieves Doing their best to leave you uneased A warning for those of today Darkness and violence is well on its way The pen is wet The ink is dry This is our final night Welcome to Yesteryear Claiming your smiles And drinking your tears Welcome to Yesteryear Draining your hope And spitting back fear Rise above titans of Gaia Monoliths erected higher Temples astrayed Heresy claimed Hasten the schism the demons ordain us Curse us Mankind is manifested Our souls have been molested Heavenly father Have you forsaken us? Were we damned? Were we damned from the start? O' All-creator We have feared for the worst Welcome to Yesteryear And now that I have turned away For this world was all just a lie I have blinded the darkness and embraced all the light Death is now life Martyrdom become eternal Repentance silencing evil Fiery rain Idols are slain Mending the schism the angels forgive us Help us Mankind is manifested Our souls are still contested Heavenly father Have you forsaken us? Were we damned? Were we damned from the start? O' All-creator We have feared for the worst Welcome to Yesteryear Send forth the trumpets of justice So all can hear So all can hear Open the clouds of the cosmos So all can hear So all can hear Close your mind Free your soul Close your mind Free your soul Free your soul We are the tools of our disaster And forever in despair We are the dreams of our perfection And we also will repair So I will take the burden for For the violence inside me So I will free the curse to all To all the sinners who believe We are the tools of our disaster And forever in despair We are the dreams of our perfection And we also will repair So I will take the burden for For the violence inside me So I will free the curse to all To all the sinners who believe
