Aphotic Currents 10

Fate begins to tear at the corners of our hollow existence let's pray

A cry breaks out through the darkness

This voice it speaks to me

I close my eyes, and hope it’s just pretend

For it brings no tomorrow

The nightmare's real, brought here to this God-forsaken land

My eyes wrench open, I have no choice but to begin

Above my head the wicked star confirms my fear

It slowly turns, and every passing second feels like years

Apathy's my enemy, this life could be death of me

After all this good I've done, I'm cheated of my century

Document these past events, and tell me your uncertainty

I believe you would agree my life has turned to stone

I could be the Messiah, spreading word of hope and love

I could be evil born, misguiding youth to walk among me

I'd cause catastrophe a mastery of what I have become

Or just a shepherd's son who’s lost of his sheep and can't go home

Apathy's my enemy, this life could be death of me

After all this good I've done, I'm cheated of my century

Document these past events, and tell me your uncertainty

I believe you would agree my life has turned to stone

All my life's the faintest glow

I can't even feel anymore

I just see the numbers as I approach the door

0237 no more

Tied around my waste, this lantern

Holding all those lives I've stolen

It'll take some time to reconstruct the star's light

I can feel it start shaking

As the ground shifts everything that exist, fades to the gray

Eyes deceiving, my body starts to leave me

Unravels through this maze of systematic control

Crashing on a world that I will slowly destroy
