By the look in your eye – i see a definite sign
That we’ve imperialized - succumb to stereotypes
The empire shall demise – I can’t help but despise
We’ve materialized – we are exteriorized
We’ve materialized – succumb to nothing but lies
The narrow path of your mind – has me doubting our kind
What’s behind the pale eyes – what goes on in your mind
I’ve seen – you rise
But again – you shall – demise
We are buried words – frozen in the dark
From your heart – I shall depart
As I enter your mind – anticipation will rise
I try to rewind – i look for the signs, but
With the steel on your skin and the chimes in my mind
It will be the last time – I have scrutinized your mind
I’ve seen – you rise
But again – you shall – demise
We are buried words – frozen in the dark
From your heart – I shall depart
As I journey the path – I realize everything beautiful is thorned
And the wrath
Takes a chokehold – it degrades us both through me
Till we’re cold
As the whirlpool of sorrow cuts deep
That will be my cue to upheave.
