End Of Time

In a corner, hate can serve us well

It circles 'round us only time can tell

Lies die slowly

Now in the courtyard sounds a distant bell

It’s only there to warn us

Of some impending hell

I can see it

Rise up from under the old world

And into another day on the wind, we make our way

Onward through history reeling from impotence

You wage your war from the pages of books

Leading the charge from the comfort of ignorance

The taking of innocent lives without firing a shot

Cradle of civilization your omnibus

Losing the battle and not winning the war

Staying the hand of the leper in all of us

You take up the sword of forgiveness with no remorse

So now that it’s done

We’ve come to the end of time

Let’s just let it die and fall from our eyes

They’ve poisoned the well, the promise of paradise a lie

We live our lives one step from the end of time

Pushing past ignorance we take on our enemies

Breaking down walls that once kept out the damned

Leading the charge as they lay down in front of us

Leaving the sheep to kneel as we make our stand

In the garden lost in lifes frantic pace

The mystery defines us leaves without a trace

Lines of history

In the courtyard, silence casts its spell

Leaves us to our memories ghosts and demons dwell

Someone save me

Cause I'm not the person I once was

And into another life, I expire
