I Shot The Albatross - August 1st. lyrics

This what drives us, our minds are given to see this world as gain Our lives have become an endless cycle to a never ending game Seeking to find ourselves filled by this void so vast But in the end this world was never meant to last I am here to show you this is not the end This life is more than diamonds and gravestones When you see that we are meant for some greater purpose Then you will see this world through my eyes Are we so blind, that we can't see? This world is never what it seems to be We've given in to their deceit like lambs to slaughter The "gods" of this nation have Drained every ounce of our humanity I am here to show you this is not the end This life is more than diamonds and gravestones When you see that we are meant for some greater purpose Then you will see the world through my eyes You see, we all have this tendency to seek fulfillment in ourselves But there we find none for we are broken And these rattling bones and this dying flesh Could never make us whole Oh where is your peace? Do you even sleep ? Are you weary from running for the prize, for the crown The crown of life The crown that He wore The sorrow He bore For the sake of your soul
