Sights From Within

Day after day

People living out their lives

Clueless of the wonders

The future has in store for us

Still, at times I wonder

Is this all there is to see

I’m struck by fascination

Admiring my own kind

Its gift for exploration

A curious nature, a beautiful mind

Still, at times I’m fearful

For our future

For all I’ve seen

Deep inside they've been haunting me

Unconscious revelations

I shut my eyes but never cease to see

Psychic sightings of obliteration

Comprised within my mind

Desperate to get out

The voices pan inside

And taunt me when they say

It’s time, clear room

Renew occupation

You’ve had your chance but lost your mind

This time it’s true

Brand new civilization

Renounce control, you’re through, goodbye

Skies burning, ground shaking

All senses in shock

We’ve joked it but feared it

All part of the plot

Eyes open wide, in darkness, bathed in sweat

Consumed by fear, in tears, I don't understand

Why can't I rest in peace like everyone else?

My gift's my burden

And useless though it seems I try to reason

Please forgive us

We really meant no harm

We're only kids at heart

Orphaned by our god

Please believe it

Allow us one more shot

We're only kids at heart

Learning on the spot

I've tampered enough

The balance has long been broken

Your viral nature's beyond remedy

It’s hopeless

The fault is your own

You’ve tipped the scale now pay the toll

The course you chose is ruthless

Your future’s yours to mold

It’s dusk now, embrace your fate

Too late to rely on faith

When all you needed was to look around you

But you insist and still refuse to see

That I pity your dying race

You’re bright, but put it all to waste

All the while you wanted to live like beasts

Now, in peril, you reach out to me

Deep inside they’re still haunting me

Unconscious revelations

I realize that it was meant to be

Psychic sightings of obliteration

It’s time, clear room

Renew occupation

You’ve had your chance but lost your mind

This time it’s true

Brand new civilization

Renounce control, you’re through, goodbye

Skies burning, ground shaking

All senses in shock

We’ve joked it but feared it

All part of the plot

Abandoned, forsaken

True orphans of God

So fragile and helpless

Departing along
