When the lights go out I can't see through the mirror,
but when the lights come on I can't bear the sight.
When a darkness fills my vision I fear not of what I see but rather of that which hides from me,
the darkness penetrates sometimes greater than the light when a curtain draws to close a never-ending night.
When the lights come on I raise my head to see what not seem real,
as the light shows the imperfection that darkness need not reveal
Upon the throne of man
Sits the king of greed
A man so old and cold
Yet ne'er his people
Shall he feed
Upon the yellow throne
Sits a man of truth and lie
A skeleton covered in gold
20,000 leagues above mankind sits an ivory tower
A tower with men and women who hold all the cards
A tower so strong not even a missile barrage could crumble it
I'm tired of walking the same loop
Taking the same few steps forward
Just to walk the same steps back
I'm enamored with the way we were
Enamored with the things we swore
