Perennial
Sojourner
GENRE Time and time we've circled
Stood still as horrid acts unfurled
Dormant guilt, useless rage
For the last time will we relish this age
A realm so merciful and patient
Now yearning to erase a species so complacent
We remain no longer...
Empires turn to ash and roads remain shadowed
Premonitions are futile when we behave as cowards
The ultimate veil will fall
No longer will we stand tall
We've lingered far too long in our cocoon
Become one with our mother but we died too soon
The regret and shame we feel
Will always last in our reel
Dazed, cold, lonely and scared
Centuries of torment she's fared
The torch we were once given
Dies out as our bodies stiffen
Empires turn to ash and roads remain shadowed
Premonitions are futile when we behave as cowards
The ultimate veil will fall
No longer will we stand tall
Forfeit our once sacred land
Behold the pathetic fall of man
Destroyers of beauty, serene
Poisoned by endless acts, obscene
Drink from the vile well of greed
From her very soul we feed
Eternal decay, it follows
A sight so rich yet it's hollow
The ultimate veil revealed a future so bright
Never more will we be it’s light...
The ashes of empires and shadowed roads now gone
Premonitions once futile gave way to a new dawn
Stood still as horrid acts unfurled
Dormant guilt, useless rage
For the last time will we relish this age
A realm so merciful and patient
Now yearning to erase a species so complacent
We remain no longer...
Empires turn to ash and roads remain shadowed
Premonitions are futile when we behave as cowards
The ultimate veil will fall
No longer will we stand tall
We've lingered far too long in our cocoon
Become one with our mother but we died too soon
The regret and shame we feel
Will always last in our reel
Dazed, cold, lonely and scared
Centuries of torment she's fared
The torch we were once given
Dies out as our bodies stiffen
Empires turn to ash and roads remain shadowed
Premonitions are futile when we behave as cowards
The ultimate veil will fall
No longer will we stand tall
Forfeit our once sacred land
Behold the pathetic fall of man
Destroyers of beauty, serene
Poisoned by endless acts, obscene
Drink from the vile well of greed
From her very soul we feed
Eternal decay, it follows
A sight so rich yet it's hollow
The ultimate veil revealed a future so bright
Never more will we be it’s light...
The ashes of empires and shadowed roads now gone
Premonitions once futile gave way to a new dawn
