A Great Mistake

I, the burning arrow for the other shore
 And seething with a callous rage
 A sacred object with a hollow core
 And actor on an empty stage
 We from the shadow will extend our hands
 And turn our gaze towards the flame
 The pathways darken as the poison spreads
 We languish in this land of waste
 I wish for a great mistake
 To carry us away
 And for an old beginning
 Where everything's the same
 May this strip our minds away
 And lead us to our early graves;
 Contorted and exhausted faces,
 Soiled and ashamed
 Writhe
 Your brittle sanctum where your madness grows
 A crumbling heart cursed by faith
 Within, our visions are like fractured glass
 We lick the venom from the blade
 The red moon rises as the black rain falls
 Revealing the blood upon our hands
 The past we harken as the gateways close
 Release the plague upon the lands
 We saw the signs
 And we towed the line
 We're lost reflections of forgotten time
 Realizing, despising
 I wish for a great mistake
 To carry us away
 And for an old beginning
 Where everything's the same
 May this strip our minds away
 And lead us to our early graves;
 Contorted and exhausted faces,
 Soiled and ashamed
