lyrics

Ancient history of your lies reoccur in the modern times
That trait will die with you engraved
Scars of old carry stories untold of a democracy within a dictators hands

I cannot hear another word
stranded, diluted visions grown from tainted seeds
Blossomed as a blood ridden catastrophe
Warped idealism consumed
Driven by a power hungry fool

Smoke replaced the clouds

A misplaced trust undermined by self indulgent destructive lust
Hunger for torn, shattered, dismantled remains
Concentrate on writing this all over again

Blinded - I should have seen this from the start
Manipulate our eyes are dull from to much sleep

The cogs begin to turn turning

Smoke replaced the cloud


Is there a way past this
Stained disdain is hard to wash away
What is cast cannot, so easily replace
Wide eyed bludgeoned smile
Blackens sunlight in the dark


The infliction of a butchered mind craving decline
reinventing the elitist design

I'm Blinded I should have seen this from the start
Manipulate our eyes are dull from too much sleep

The cogs begin to turn
Smoke replaced the clouds

Smoke replaced the clouds
A silhouette of what life was, now lost and left us weak
Smoke replaced the clouds
The silhouette of life drifts unconscious through the skies

drifts unconscious through the sky

screams exhale the pain, fear from their own lungs
There's burning flesh in the air
carry humanities corpses to its final resting place
a nameless graveyard amounts to,
another dot on the page...
Those who remain and wonder what is next
Existence begets them, waiting for end

To end the suffering:
Strap the usurper down and stretch him out
without the sedation, mind manipulation
Inflict a series of cuts, but avoiding the critical vein

Who still remains?
As bleak memories are recalled
Time begins to reconcile
remember when the smoke replaced the clouds

remember when the smoke replaced the clouds

Ancient history of your lies reoccur in the modern times
That trait has died with you engraved
Scars of old carry stories untold of a democracy ripped out of the dictators hands
