Hourglass

Privileged, a chosen few

Blessed with our time in hell

Witness a divine vision, the day we all fell still

Rapture of the dying age, a shattered hourglass

Wrath of the warring gods and so this too shall pass

Its only getting worse, not worth a moments regret

Each dawn another curse, every breath a twisting blade

What will be left behind in the ashes of the wake?

An ill wind blows this way, th edge of the envelope burns

For bearance and my vengeance, payment for your intent

Fear and death in the wings, in thrall of those fallen from grace

Petty is as petty does, witness the mass disgrace

God forbid you read the signs

watch for meanings between the lines

Gehenna has now arrived, no hindsight for the blind

Your trust has been misplaced, believed the lies told to your face

Became another casualty and now its too late

You finally made it home, draped in the flag that you fell for

And so it goes

The ashes of the wake

Its only getting worse...
