How
When you’re burnt out
Late for repentance
Now
Late to regret
Helpless you
Are
You failed your mission
You killed the time bestowed
Look at the blurred shards of glass
Hopes you buried alive
No one has noticed this
Sacrifice
You failed your mission
You killed the time bestowed
Gardens you carefully grew
Never bore fruit for you
You’ve been exploited through
Don't you see?
Wake
Up
Never perceived real world from inside
Falsified
Trapped in a whirl of recursions disguised
As daylight
Those neon signs
Dazzling lines
Souls being sold behind
A viper smiles
Toxic spines
Pierced through the skin
To enslave
You’re slave, he’s slave, we’re fucking slaves there
Dare
Don’t just stare
Rage
Free your rage
Right
Now
Shake that
Break that
Set what you’ve created
Ablaze
And don’t let them
Avail
Wipe out
Rise up
Burn up
Set what they’ve established
On fire
And don’t let them
Put out
Show your pride
Your trembling limbs
May speak for themselves
All your attempts are vain
Illusions beclouding guileless mind
Ominous visions I denied
The world seemed to shatter in a flash
--Ash to ash
Will you hear my voice through dust
Justice sheds tears red from rust
Count to ten
--Close your eyes
