Alone With Our Failures

Faceless summer night
I call out from the shadows
Empty now, the barren streets summon scenes
Here a blackened future lies
Condemn this shallow world to wallow in its sadness
Broken now, the city bleeds a noxious blood and slowly dies
I pretend that I am more
A rotten pretense to the chains I wear
An empty lie of sullen safe from the claws of the beast of which I am part
And here is no sound acknowledging darkness
We stand on hollow ground
And scream the hopeless
We live as cancer breeds
Can you see beyond your eyes?
There is no renewal on this earth
No solution beyond a mass grave
A spell for the death of man
A spell for disease we’ve never known
Dispel all myths of hope and joy
Unleash the beast we hold within
A spell for the death of man
A spell for disease we’ve never known
Dispel all myths of hope and joy
Unleash the beast we hold within
Alone with our failures
