Soothsayer
Show me what is seen
Through the eye that defies the laws of time
Ancient one
Who foretold the fall of man
Knows his words will go unheard again
Out of time
We are marching to our graves
Silently and without much resistance
It’s too late
As the empty tombs await
Our arrival, now we claim our rightful place
Say farewell, for we will never return
Looking back, I wish we’d never been born
Thinking that we had karma to burn
Finally, from this world we’re torn
The seer was right
And everything foretold came to pass
The nightmares came first, they crept
From below, they seemed so real
Dawn never came
And we came to the realization
That we had done this to ourselves
Yet we continued down that path
Despite many times being shown the way
We’ve been lost to time
Forsaken the earth
In the blink of an eye
We’ve lost it all in the name of greed
Turning a deaf ear to the people who plead
For their lives
It must be done
Ignoring the words
We've heard all along
Repetition, this cycle won’t end
We pay for neglect with our lives
Silent landscapes frozen in time
Progress halted, no reason or rhyme
System broken, it led to our doom
This is the procession to the tombs
Welcome darkness, goodbye light
Must embrace this endless night
I was torn but now I see
There’s no place for you or me
