Plight
Soulless streams plague beating plains
Life once so pure in blackened chains
Fire hails down through eyes so red
Innocence lost... This pure heart's now dead
Sorrow leads to execration
Hate bleeds from these afflictions
Void so dark, abyss so great
Fading love bleeds into growing hate
Dark reflections pierce the purest of souls
As this love now gone takes its final toll
Demons screaming all around us
Contempt for life feeds their lust
These demons born from sorrow
Live only to destroy us
Screams falling on deaf ears
Gone away are all our fears
For if we don't fear death
We can't fear anything at all
Our demons kill our conscience
Who was one our creed
There's no innocence
We're all sinners snuffing our own light
We ignore all our remorse and crying pleas
Now we dream to take the world down
With us in our plight
Our love scatters like dust
This pain once loathed we lust
To what have we succumbed?
What have we now become?
Now we dream to take the world down
