Umbra Within


I try to justify this mask I've made my face 
Fearing rejection from a bastard dying race 
What's called upon a weakened heart 
Will surely tear the seams 
The reality in futility of believing in our dreams 
We bind our hands and blind our eyes 
Trying so hard to get by 
While desolation calls from our doorstep 
Waiting for no reply 
We kill an we rape our way, our way to freedom 
(For only the strong survive)
But when the day is done, and the graves are dug 
Will we be glad to be alive? 

Lord, come blind our eyes

The salvation of this nation will fall from the skies 
A devil's cry, a blinding light 
No time to say goodbye 
So call upon your coward's faith, Reprise all the lies
For when heaven comes crashing down, 
Who will you answer to then? 
I refuse to believe, that this is how it must be 
A dying world, a faceless king 
A martyr's song for all of the angels to sing
