From The Gutter To The Throne

From the gutter to the throne

All the dark places man has gone

There's so much to learn

In front of us

All the sadness we have known

And the madness we have shown

Can we escape the wheel

We're stuck upon?

From beginning to end

All the time that we've spent

Chasing dreams

As the veil ascends

Will we cease to pretend that we're free?

Led to all of the hate

Countless fears

As the darkness descends

Will we ever transcend

And find out what it means?

We're the ones that failed to grow

Even though we've lived before

In this land that has replenished us

One day soon will come a storm

That will wash away all that's born

All the will remain will be forsaken

Take a look in the mirror

Do you like what you see?

Is your reflection getting clearer

Is it what you like it to be?

Thebooks have all been written

Now it's up to history

Our final days are getting nearer

It's time to rise up and be free?

There's a hand made of stone

Holding down our ascent

Truth be known

We stand alone

All alone

From the gutter to the throne...
