[Words by Steven Sagala, Music by Steve Stell and Joe DeGroot.]
[Lead: Stell]
The illusion in us all - a social
parasite
Manipulating circumstance or a judgment stigmatized?
The inner revolution, the ruins of the heart
These are tales of
bitterness let me take you to the start
I feel it coming down
And waiting at my door
My God so far away
Does he need me
anymore?
We travel in this rapid form
Unable to fulfill our dreams
The fleeting thoughts of yesteryear
Impossible for you
to breed
Songs of a shattered lifetime - modern day dramatics
Another contradiction is rising through the conflicts
Nothing
lasts forever
Nothing stays the same
We are magnificent material exposed to decay
At the farthest reaches of my
sight
You're not there
Where are you now?
As I cry for my reprieve
Where are you now?
As I become who I am supposed to
be
Tear my heart
Ease my pain
Further below us yet so up high
This paradise will never survive
The wrath of mankind
means nothing here
The hands of the liar will seal my fate
I am burning alive
As the angels weep, the prophet
decrees
"Withered wings shall befall the kings"
