Another victim of the rise and fall
|
Standing naked in the pastures where we graze
|
Sterile in a darkened pall
|
Picking pockets of the strangers all the way
|
Signed off with a cynical sound
|
Like a chime in a bell so far away
|
There's a light in the scyllia there
|
Just where our tarnished virtue lay
|
|
I tore a page from every tome upon the wall
|
Researched a photograph to find my place to fall
|
|
So many celebrated victories of pride
|
I watch the tide erase the lies down from inside
|
The lies down from inside
|
|
If i gaze long enough into the tortured sky
|
Parading arrogance in terms we can't deny
|
|
Or is it all in my mind
|
Mistakes arising implicitly
|
In light of factions to desperate to fold
|
|
And the blind lead the blind <i>[2x]
|
The lights have all gone out <i>[2x]
|

Good Riddance |
