Borrowed Time - A Titan's Chain lyrics

Lost possession, the time is nigh The vision is clear, inundate the seer Arduous task, failing to last Ripped off your masque of defences Chaffed at the heel, chains you can feel Rain as you toil away Do you dream of spiraling towers A dominion of your grand design Live in sin or be bound to a titan's chain Betwixt the ivory gates are destroyers Sharpened rapiers to seal swift demise Live in sin or be bound to a titan's chain Some cannot see Where the could be If they all stood up together The shackles are strong It won't be long before The tempest enthralls us Sword! And mace! Oracles propel us in foresight and vision Fall! From grace! Destiny's fiction yields contrition Do you dream of spiraling towers A dominion of your grand design Live in sin or be bound to a titan's chain Betwixt the ivory gates are destroyers Sharpened rapiers to seal swift demise Live in sin or be bound to a titan's chain The distant screams of the subjugated Look on the landscape Lords rule feeble fiefdoms Solo: Preston The distant screams of the subjugated Look on the landscape Bane of all existence is...all of us The truth remains so hard to see While so many simply give up just to be Short-sighted desires and weak tinder pyres Give the serpents the poise to envenom Some still even defend them And with you, they'll take all you do And serve to break the bonds that unite us And further malign us To live in sin is to fight Against the grain of the norm On and on, then we fall in vain glory Do you dream of spiraling towers A dominion of your grand design Live in sin or be bound to a titan's chain Betwixt the ivory gates are destroyers Sharpened rapiers to seal swift demise Live in sin, fight against the grain Of the norm and fall, Vain Gloriam Arduous task, failing to last Ripped off your masque of defences The shackles are strong It won't be long before The tempest enthralls us Sword! And mace! Oracles propel us in foresight and vision Fall! From grace! Destiny's fiction yields sorrow...
