We are but shadows

Cast by the whims of fate

No fear or promise

Will hold our thoughts at bay

Our fiends and tyrants

Delight in our hopeless plight

Leave us but ashes

To cover our eyes

Our fear is repressive

In a time of our endless strife

In this zero sum game

We must surmount our great divide

Our zero sum game

Master the hollow words

That carry our lies like dust

Lean on the ones deceptive

For an inside viеw

Make of our adversary

More of what wе are

Here on the outside

Here in us all

Our fear is regressive

In a time of our endless strife

In this zero sum game

We must surmount our great divide

Our zero sum game

Our self deceptions

Are nothing buf features

Featues of subjectivity

Never closer than now

On the brink of ruin

Make blind our open minds

Here on the outside

Here in us all

Our fear is repressive

In a time of our endless strife

In this zero sum game

We must surmount our great divide

Our zero sum game
