Our Pillars Fall

And here we are once again

On the eve of our dying breath

A plummet into nothingness

Failing to learn determined to repeat

A chaotic descent into madness

Willing participants to the end

History's lessons have fallen

On our deaf ears

Our journey for conquest

Always leads to the same outcome

How many times

Shall we watch the pillars fall

A thirst for power

That can never be quenched

First the spirit must be broken

Poisoned the well

And act surprised at the outcome

Clutching onto every single word

As if we've seen everything

With our own eyes

Praying for our ill fate

The strong now mocked

For seeing beyond this veil

Watching from behind cold dead eyes

Yearning for nothing of substance

People so ready to fight

But to fight only their own

Set to cause a collapse from inside

While others watch on in delight

Taking no comfort in discomfort

Will be our last dying breath

Our journey for conquest

Always leads to the same outcome

How many times

Shall we watch the pillars fall

A thirst for power

That can never be quenched

First the spirit must be broken

Poisoned the well

And act surprised at the outcome

Clutching onto every single word

As if we've seen everything

With our own eyed

Praying for our ill fate

The strong now mocked

For seeing beyond this veil

Clutching onto every single word

As if we've seen everything

With our own eyes

Praying for our ill fate

The strong now mocked

For seeing beyond this veil
