Echoes in the Ruins

The eyes of god are borrowed Desecrated by unworthy hands Always longing; ever watching Through the minds of the undead We call ourselves victims Yet we built this disease Feeding the virus that kills us as we Please won't you save us Can nothing be done Fearful are we The consequence of a curse undone How loud can a soul express its final fucking death wish Stand aside and let this blade strike true How loud can a god confess its only fucking human Immortality is a myth; yet still we persist Nightmares awaken me As my breath begins to fade I feel my mistakes Bleeding through me Will I stay awake Through all this madness I'll sleep my life away In this manufactured dream Forge the fire From the ashes of defeat It's burning brighter with every single word I speak The scarlet webbing glistening Shining in the distant sun Igniting at the very touch As we wait for morning's dawn I hear the echoes Reverberating through the caverns Losing sight of the distant vision We cannot face ourselves Blinded by our own ambitions We cannot save ourselves I've lost sight of our only mission We cannot face ourselves Protect the world of the living We cannot save ourselves Another turning point in this road Another path that I must walk alone With no one left to guide me How will you find me Feeding The virus that kills us all The violet sending; ever drifting Glowing in the distant sun Igniting at the very touch As we wait for twilight's dawn I hear the echoes Reverberating through the caverns Losing sight of the distant vision We cannot face ourselves Blinded by our own ambitions We cannot save ourselves I've lost sight of our only mission We cannot face ourselves Protect the world of the living We cannot save ourselves
