Look there beyond the clouds
Can you see where our saviour lies
He gazes down on our desolate towns
And laughs at all of our cries
We live in a world all our own
And nothing is gonna save it
It's a fiendish thought I know
Don't ask me if I can do this
But keep your head up
Friend and foe
And stand up
'Cause we reap what we sow

All the hope in the world
Comes crashing down without
Your existance
All the prayers in the world
Die when nothing but doubt
Keeps its persistance
When the world lies
In the palm of my hand
Everyone shall die
When they make their stand
So sit back with me
And watch with me
The death of our vanity
The introduction to our insanity
Can you see it in their eyes
They know it's their demise
It's all in their stare
Welcome to my nightmare

Born into a man's poverty
We find theft is the answer
We think that we lost our purity
When they thought to tamper
But in reality we've just fallen deeper
Deeper into the well of our own deceit
And perhaps we can escape with the leaper
However it's such a long sought feat
But keep your head up
Friend and foe
And stand up
'Cause we reap what we sow

All the hope in the world
Comes crashing down without
Your existance
All the prayers in the world
Die when nothing but doubt
Keeps its persistance
When the world lies
In the palm of my hand
Everyone shall die
When they make their stand
So sit back with me
And watch with me
The death of our vanity
The introduction to our insanity
Can you see it in their eyes
They know it's their demise
It's all in their stare
Welcome to my nightmare

Feel the embers
Falling down on you
The broken November
Besieged by truth
Man's reign slips at last
Steadied by evanescence
Coming so fast
Within our presence
And now we can find the time
To perfect our lies
For when the clocktower chimes
We shall all die

All the hope in the world
Comes crashing down without
Your existance
All the prayers in the world
Die when nothing but doubt
Keeps its persistance
When the world lies
In the palm of my hand
Everyone shall die
When they make their stand
So sit back with me
And watch with me
The death of our vanity
The introduction to our insanity
Can you see it in their eyes
They know it's their demise
It's all in their stare
Welcome to my nightmare
My muse is still kicking. Aren't you glad? New stuff. Yay for 2am. Something a bit darker, not as dark as some of my other stuff, but darkened by the music I was inspired by. Inspiration is a band called Lost Dreams that managed to find it's way to me on Myspace. Yay for Australian death metal. :headbang:

it may be dark, but the point is very valid. What a beautiful sad piece that is surrounded by truth and personal interpertations. My favorite part has to be the way it all flows, like it's trickling down.
