Forgotten in this panorama
obscured by blinding light
yet ablaze with confident derision
and the bleak solace of spite

I see a world of hope and beauty
awash in obsidian shades
a world so proud and vain
yet so eager to decay

and in the end we're caught
all we can do is rot

Nothing will endure
that is the fate we've earned
I can rest my head knowing that you'll die
But only pray you'll burn

As I stand beneath the shadow
I only smile at the void
for it's a stark, poetic beauty
to see salvation so thoroughly destroyed

Though you keep reaching for the promised land
It keeps slipping through your hands
And as you watch it fall away
you realize we're all damned

and in the end we're bound
just a body in the ground

Nothing will endure
that is the fate we've earned
I can rest my head knowing that you'll die
But only pray you'll burn
