Discern which voice can fill the void

Faceless and unseen

Dead broken wings, no hidden shame

Just assets to redeem

Beneath we feed on lesser dreams

And falter beneath their feet

Rend and reap such petty things

As silence heralds sleep

Rest within black eyes

That seek to take us to our knees

As we partake in lies

That we may find some meager part to play in this disease

Play to our hearts, of our desires

Tell us of what we seek

What must we trade, what must we sell

So that we can be free?

Wrest our heavy eyes

A song is sung for us to sleep

I See, no sun will rise

Shadows veil a land that’s torn and stilled by its deceit

Alone, en masse

We flail, at still

Shaking, seething

Silently, shrieking

Let it come!

Let it pass!

Dawn of darkness

Forever last

Ever weakening

Clench the chains we seek

Better off on bleeding knees

Than dying on our feet

So I abide

Can we blame them for desires?

Would not all hearts fall just the same?

If they would lead us to the fire

Then I will follow without shame

Lay down with me

As lambs to bleed

Come offer up your throats. Appease and feast

Feed your fill on each other’s loss

Praise our suffering

Praise be to the pain

Praise our hidden lords

And praise be to the lies that make us weak
