The Veil

I, in loneliness will wither away if I let
 The over bearing weight of the world consume me
 The future is as bright, as the city lights
 An empire of naught built upon a crown of rot
 Your masks cannot hide the strength in which you left to die
 Wasting precious time burnt alive
 Next thing you know you've pissed away your precious life
 The days of judgement draw near
 They will not pardon you
 When your thirsty and cold will you know what to do?
 Insurrection ensues and all you cry for is help
 You've failed to see the signs it's time to pay for pain that's dealt
 All we do is consume, expel and rot away
 We live our lives so blind, looming hell impending
 What do you stand for?
 Who does it benefit?
 Why endorse all the horrors of the innocent?
 Where are your calluses?
 Where is your composure?
 Choosing to filter love and overload with fear
 Who are we to blame for all the ways leading us into an age of ruin?
 Our forefathers blame theirs
 Passed the veils, the meagre ways will fail
 Fail us all
 Let our will determine who shall thrive or die
 I'm sickened by the cycle of the world surrounding me
 Slipping through the holes of my own insanity
 We, the purveyors of our own calamity
 Take a step back, is this what you want to be?
 How far do we go and at what cost?
 Fleeting fame feeding egos so lost
 We're trapped inside a cage but the door is unlocked
 It's thrive or die but at what cost?
 ♪
 How long can we sustain these crimson ways?
 How far can we go before collapsing?
 Just listen to the world and all her agony
 Your lack of contribution utterly disgusts me
 You'll probably say I'm wrong
 You soon shall surely see
 An age of regress is written in prophecy
 Who are we to blame for all the ways leading us into an age of ruin?
 Our forefathers blame theirs
 Passed the veils, the meagre ways will fail
 Fail us all
 Let our will determine who shall thrive or die
