Stare away and don't focus
Nothing good can come out of the truth
With a flash it invades my peripheral
It's made of the wind that wounds
We're the last of the chosen
We're the last real connection with pain
Will they ravage and tear us to shreds?
Will the children remember our names at all?
The foundation is weak, but she'll last
It's the last time i break my back
This is righteous
This is fate
It's the place where our promises break
This is wrath
Razor's rusted
This is payback
This is Justice
We're the beast with the proof that He wept...
We live in contempt
How can you smile with a face full of lies?
Just under the skin
Prodding, protruding and teasing to rise
It's waiting to surface again
We're the elders in black
With our feet firmly nailed to the cross
And we've gathered this horrible night
To take back what we have lost
The foundation is crumbled and cracked
Is it fate that's been holding us back?
Aren't we all just waiting to die?
Hold your breath it's the end of the line
We're the martyrs of common sense
We live in contempt
