With sunken eyes I raise my weary head    Before the sullen rising of my apathy    I taste of the life that giveth to me    Smothered in the growing weight of empathy    Falling to my bloodied knees    I scream to a god that some may claim they've seen    Beneath me burns this harrowed land    Cracks in this barren earth threaten to swallow me       Waiting for this feeling to subside    Opening my eyes, I face this empty life    See this world in its slow decay    Dying of a plague, mankind's insanity    Reigning from the skies above    Covering this land in blackened death and grief    Where is the voice of reason?    Lost in translation or just trying to ignore?       And I won't ever let you see    The hatred and the pain I've seen    And I won't ever let you be    As alone or misled, like I've been    And I won't covert all your pain    To bleed you dry of life again    And I won't ever make you plead    For your sanity on your hands and knees       Don't leave me here to face the turning tide    Don't leave me here to see the dawning light    Don't leave me in a world that has gone numb    Don't leave me here to find my way
