The world is asleep with it's head in it's hands   Unable to meet such dispirate demands   Cries of frustration resound in it's head   And strewn at it's feet are the souls of the dead      Tearing the fractured divisions apart   The tandem destruction of brothers in arms   Crying for reason with none to be found   Engulfed by the ominous, deafening sound      CH   Has it grown darker or am I slowly going blind?   The day is fading, all our fates are intertwined   Without the light of wisdom what else can be done   But fumble blindly until at last our race is run?      Events resonate long after they've occurred   The lines between passion and reason have blurred   Its hard to find balance on unsteady ground   Instead we just pray that a way will be found      Acting on impulse without any thought   Ignoring the lessons our precursors taught   Emotion dictates what our actions will be   With no room for logic and little for peace      (CH)      Shadows spread out like a river of ink   Devouring the sky as the sun starts to sink   Counting the hours till it rises again   Instead of relying on light from within      Permanent nightfall, a total eclipse   Darkness takes hold with its sinewy grip   We begged for this outcome and now it's arrived   Cursing its name with our echoing cries      (CH)
