Lost in our anger, lonely in our might We're crawling towards darkness like a thief in the night In this world of shadows where demons reside We paint a smile upon our face with hate we hide Time was up when the Wiseman died 6000 years ago 6000 years ago, 6000 years ago 6000 years ago, 6000 years ago 6000 years ago, 6000 years ago 6000 years ago
