The man sits from afar watching a silent march. The only light seeps from
|
Out the eyes of the marching men, but it is not enough to light the path.
|
Still they march, endlessly. The man reaches his hands into the soil and
|
Finds a weak, glowing light.
|
|
Under a dim lit sky shadows marched like statues.
|
Darkness was coursing throughout their veins, and light shone from their
|
Eyes.
|
And it was all they had, but it was not enough to light their way: A silent
|
March into awaiting graves.
|
Turned my back against the night, toward the hope that there's a place
|
Where truth abides.
|
For here we're left to wonder why we douse the flame and there is nothing
|
Left inside.
|
|
We have become as the ravens; mighty in numbers and blocking out the
|
Sun... the sun.
|
|
And here my will could never contend: Is this not cold and bent?
|
And where does my volition fit in? Where?
|
|
Too weak to wade amongst the dead, too tired to stand amongst the rest.
|
|
So face the sky and tell me how you gauge living in vain?
|
Show me the crooked and bent, the shape of contempt...
|
Of... contempt... of... contempt... of contempt.
|
|
We've buried the flame, but I contend to dig it up again.
