And They All Blew Away

The final line lies between what was said

It tells me what to fear

Descending through the emptiness

All the while on borrowed time

Lies are streaming through my head

And nothing can stop the culling

For the last time you have failed me

I'll keep my cards just out of reach

And for every empty sacrifice

Or promise you won't keep

I lay it all out on the table

You leave me hanging on the line

Here's to every wasted hour waiting

Here on borrowed time and I know

I don't know, I

And now the course laid out before me

No more promises to keep

It doesn't matter if in the end

It doesn't justify the means

And now our trust in penance fading

We put our faith in hollow lies

Again, with every wasted hour waiting here on borrowed time

And I know

I don't know, I should've done more to keep them all at bay

You just came through

Spinning your web of lies but I know

In the wind and through the rain

We can find ourselves a path to follow

Even those uninvited get to stay

And in the end we ride the storm

And there is no one immune to sorrow

Like every star up above will surely fade

And they all blew away

Descending into hallowed halls of disillusion

Pretending that it's not your time to persuade

Giving into temptation, lies and your confusion

Answers we thought made us free

Turned us into slaves

And it cycles on and on unfolding with the wind

Man's greed has given way to this

We find ourselves with our backs to the wall and

I don't know, I should've done more to keep them all at bay

You just came through

Spinning your web of lies and I know

In the wind and through the rain

We can find ourselves a path to follow

Even those uninvited get to stay

And in the end we ride the storm

And there is no one immune to sorrow

Like every star up above will surely fade

And they all blew away

Crossing over

We ascend to embrace the coming curse

Descending, precision

No one can hide from the inverse

The chosen give the sign

Let the virus spread

Wake up, it's not a dream anymore

The things that we once took for granted

Now lay dying on the floor

This is not what we wanted from this

This is not what you wanted to say

Now that I've had some time

To find myself a little inspiration

It isn't like we had a choice

Was this all pointless insulation?

From ripping and clawing sycophants

Too weak to show their faces

We cast them off into oblivion

Let the tide of indifference eradicate the weak

Drown our enemies in silence

We drown our enemies in silence

I don't know, I should've done more to keep them all at bay

You just came through

Spinning your web of lies and I know

In the wind and through the rain

We can find ourselves a path to follow

Even those uninvited get to stay

And in the end we ride the storm

And there is no one immune to sorrow

Like every star up above will surely fade

And they all blew away
