Forever Marked

Cast into the flame.
Dark horizons bridge the gap between Life and Loss.
Through the windowpane,
We behold the death of the gods.
Pray for forgiveness, we have put the needs of the few on top again.
Preying endlessly on the abyss of pride we’ve lost.
We were the disadvantaged, yet we saw the signs of demise.
The truth still denied buried deep behind the lies.
As we try to hide, our tragedy disguised.
As we all stand petrified, we die alone; betrayed in time.
We’re lost,
Falling apart again.
In dust,
Is this the way it ends?
Their backs are turned, their eyes avert.
Washed away with all but a whisper.
The lies we share, the blood we spread...
As the knife burned deeper in my sunken skin, I think “how innocent we used to be.”
I only hope when they destroy our lives that they look us in the eyes.
We’re lost,
Falling apart again.
In dust,
Is this the way it ends?
Their backs are turned, their eyes avert.
Washed away with all but a whisper.
The lies we share, the blood we spread,
Ushering us to the end.
Our fate is sealed; our time has come.
The vultures circle over us.
Forever marked,
How could you turn your backs as it all falls apart?
F O R E V E R M A R K E D.
With the knife to the neck of change, we stood there staring,
A lie.
All but a whisper, a back step toward progress.
We’re lost,
Falling apart again.
In dust,
Is this the way it ends?
Their backs are turned, their eyes avert.
Washed away with all but a whisper.
The lies we share, the blood we spread,
Ushering us to the end.
Cast into the flame.
Dark horizons bridge the gap between Life and Loss.
Through the windowpane,
We behold the death of the gods.
We’re lost,
Falling apart again.
In dust,
Is this the way it ends?
We’re lost,
Falling apart again.
In dust,
Is this the way it ends?
