Another victim of the rise and fall   Standing naked in the pastures where we graze   Sterile in a darkened pall   Picking pockets of the strangers all the way   Signed off with a cynical sound   Like a chime in a bell so far away   There's a light in the scyllia there   Just where our tarnished virtue lay      I tore a page from every tome upon the wall   Researched a photograph to find my place to fall      So many celebrated victories of pride   I watch the tide erase the lies down from inside   The lies down from inside      If i gaze long enough into the tortured sky   Parading arrogance in terms we can't deny      Or is it all in my mind   Mistakes arising implicitly   In light of factions to desperate to fold      And the blind lead the blind [2x]   The lights have all gone out [2x]
