I have seen it all
Traveler of the sky
And do you believe
In a lie
Greed and suffering
All one and the same
But where is it
That you place the blame
Day in and day out
Everything seems to fade
But at the same time
Everything stays the same
Would you kill me
If you knew what I was
Would you let me go free
If I had just cause

Take this life
And give it a new breath
The days are past
And nothing's left
My wings are scattered
Broken and tattered
Amongst the debris
It's all I can see
Do you feel the curtain
Coming down on us
It's the soul of a new dawn
But is it one we can trust
A brand new day
In a brand new world
Have we been conned
With this new dawn

Take a flight with me
And lift your head to the clouds
It's nothing too pretty
Nothing too proud
The gears are slowing down
They don't seem to respond anymore
Could it be they've fallen apart
Or could it be something more
Fire it up and bring it down
That's the way we do things
And we take fascination
And shatter it with obscure dreams
We take things as they come
But when it's all over
What can we say
When we're not sober

Take this life
And give it a new breath
The days are past
And nothing's left
My wings are scattered
Broken and tattered
Amongst the debris
It's all I can see
Do you feel the curtain
Coming down on us
It's the soul of a new dawn
But is it one we can trust
A brand new day
In a brand new world
Have we been conned
With this new dawn

Come one come all
And see the brave new world
The crows are flying high
As their feathers are pulled
It's a new day
But everything's still the same
We think we can rule this place
That everything is tame
And in the end we find
It's us in the fire
No love for a cheat
No love for a liar
Beyond the mountains
We find ourselves
So close to the sun
But could it be just storytales

Take this life
And give it a new breath
The days are past
And nothing's left
My wings are scattered
Broken and tattered
Amongst the debris
It's all I can see
Do you feel the curtain
Coming down on us
It's the soul of a new dawn
But is it one we can trust
A brand new day
In a brand new world
Have we been conned
With this new dawn
Have we been conned
With this new dawn

Had the ol' muse kickin' in this morning. Yay. -chuckles- At any rate. Inspiration is Institute and most of all, a discussion I had with my buddy Immortal from Battlefield 2 this morning while EA was doing maintenance on the servers. Enjoy. Would love to know what yall think the song speaks of. Footnote: The last two lines of the final chorus are sung softly and faded out almost in a whisper.

Sounds like a love gone horribly wrong, like its falling apart slowly. Like everyone knows what's going on, but then they are trying to hide from it and hoping for the best to come. Hmm..could be wrong, but that's what I feel is in the words. It's like "Everything has gone down hill, but lets wait for tomorrow to see if it all comes out alright."
I really liked this, it said a lot in the chorus, made it meaningful. :D

I enjoyed this one. There is a lot of good imagery, such as the crow's feathers in the last verse. Ill have to give it another read to figure it all out, as I was at a friends until 2 this morning. I'll reread it and comment again.

-chuckles- Not quite but I like hearing what the song speaks to everyone else.

The world falls into disillusion
The only truth my own delusion
Spiralling in empty decay
What will it take to fade away?

To me it sounds like there's been change, a new wind blowing through a scorched desert. And the inhabitants of that desert, don't know what it will mean. Will it bring the rain they long for, or will it bring the crushing sandstorms they fear? They can't tell, won't know for sure, but always, always, hope lingers in the heart, doesn't it?

At twilight, nature is not without loveliness, though perhaps its chief use is to illustrate quotations from the poets.

" A bite mark on the shoulder, a love to surpass all time a kiss to stop the seasons, and I whisper you are mine.."

This one struck a chord in me of dire frustration with the state of the world and the futile attempts to save it and conform everyone in it to one way or another way of thinking or seeing. Angels wings tattered from battle, trying to save what cannot be saved. I really enjoyed this one a great deal. Your work is always intense. Always a good read!!!! Blessings.

The journey is the destination.
:iconsiona:
im not going to theorize what it means i just enjoyed it :)

There is no love...love is all there is
:iconembrace-the-flames:
Glad you enjoyed it.
