The Travelers

I saw the sun rise for the the last time

I watched it leave the Earth and leave us all behind

All the poor children

Will ever know

The strength of their innocence

How quickly it goes

God's special little creatures

Could they have saved us from your poorly plotted arrogance?

Now they inherit the land

The blackest of all plagues

No one will visit their graves

Not even dirt can be saved

Is it so foolish to think

That we don't all sink to the same place?

And to the travelers I ask

Will you show me hell?

Have you met the devil?

I want to meet him, too

I want to ask him about God

Why he's abandoned you

Why he's left me alone

With nothing left to love

Why he's taken the world from us

While he hides above

And travelers say:

Son

Are you so blind you cannot see?

What little from the world

can you offer me?

What's even left to take?

What kind of argument can you make?

What are you really trying to save?

Because all I see is a world in decay

I wish the cold would break

But the winds keep coming

To draw back the light

The dead weep for the world tonight

And I see him now

As the sun sets for the last time

A reflection of my broken self

Burning the lake of fire

We all carry our demons

And we make this world our hell

This world is our hell

The dead weep for the world tonight
