Solace at every corner The fire that soothed all souls The faces of liberation From agony to be told. The grand design of greatness Smeared with greed Worms from the promised words To lace the endless feed Behind, the cries, there lies, conceding to subscribe (to the end) Where the flag, flies high, upon this bloodstained night Fixed on a point that spurns compassion My kaleidoscopic death in segments Powerless...the thorns of hollowness That spilled enough blood to drown regret Moments of silence that welcomed eternal laughter Fixed on a point that spurns compassion My kaleidoscopic death in segments Dire ominous extravagance Brews the storm of turbulence A vision made for eternity Now withers in the flames of destiny The face of defeat thus scorned Awaiting death from the endless mourn Layer by layer, Breath after breath, Cometh the bitter hour of rest Upon my knees I fall, With hands up to the sky Ashes on ashes, Blood on blood Hope runs out of time Facing the hollow A flat line that is so near Actions headed for nothing An afterlife of guilt to fear Layer by layer, the city's on fire Behold the coming of the perennial disaster Layer by layer, the city's on fire Behold the spawning of the colossal disaster.
