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
