Shadow Of A Lucent Moon

Tears escape from my eyes

As I'm reminded once again

By the failure of our kind

We're closing up this shop for good

Since we plundered all that we could

What will it take for you to open up your squinting eyes

It's who we are

It's who we are

You can't own what you loan

A short time we've claimed this soil

Which really is no mans land

Time is short, we're running out

But not of ideas of how to squeeze out

The last drops of the borrowed world we call our own

It's who we are

Can we accept and just go on?

It's who we are

We're trading off the breaking dawn

Unknowing you blend into the dough

Handing your votes to those who are thought of to know

What is left to say

It's sickening me when they're raking in

They couldn't care less as long as they win

It's sickening me when those who have it all

Elbows others to get some more

It's sickening that they'd rather rape the earth

And claim that they're just quenching out thirst

It's sickening how we choose to neglect

How it all unfolds

A vestigial prophecy

Of tomorrows floating orb of debris

A faded memory

Drained out it monuments

The echoes of ashamed lament

Of what evolved from silent consent

As a phantom of the past

Holding the cast

As the shadow of a lucent moon

Burned out light years too soon

Benighted we fail to attune

This acheronian state, is it our fate

Way out of sight

Absorbed by night

An endless line

Running past the signs

Thus condoning tha fall of all

Shadow of a lucent moon

Burned out light years too soon

Benighted we fail to attune

This acheronian state, is it our fate

Way out of sight

Absorbed by night

It's sickening me how we're wearing down

What is in our care to hand it on

It's sickening me how we fail to see

That all of this just ain't meant for you and me
