For Power

The fog, it shrouds all visions of, transparency
Mind numbing, the specter of humanity's bane
Remember when you were convinced you knew it all
The answers lie beyond yours or my control

Forget all the social capital, that road was wrong
Tallying up all your pathetic, sad "victories"
Paint a picture of pure perfection, the colours run
Down that canvas you're so complacent, with calling home

Rise above falsified
Acts to alter your own
Perception of yourself
In the times you choose

With lust for power comes
The choice of annihilation
We cannot let ourselves
Fall to the temptation

Ourselves, our friends, our possessions
Will become null
The bonds between all, light the match and watch them all burn

Ourselves, our friends, our possessions
Will become null
The bonds between all, light the match and watch them all burn

Rust falls off the illusory, and dormant seed
Spewing forth fallacious acts of diplomacy
Rain drops they dot my eyes in bare infamy
Nothing stops the course earth's matriarch chooses to take

Rise above falsified
Acts to alter your own
Perception of yourself
In the times you choose

With lust for power comes
The choice of annihilation
We cannot let ourselves
Fall to the temptation

Ourselves, our friends, our possessions
Will become null
The bonds between all, light the match and watch them all burn
