lyrics

An Exodus of Hope

Sifting through the dissonance
A wall of total confusion
A heartfelt reward for my persistence

I am alive despite the influx of agony on display
The deplorable images absorbed upon the retina
Of a once wondrous man

These cycles of grief deem to devour me
Exhausted and affected by the constant tragedy
Cycles of life and death resume
Feeling the wrath of a hero's survival

This sense of loss is contagious
Spreading fear
A mass exodus of hope
A sea of tearful eyes forever fixed
Upon the elegance of the setting sun

I'll never forget the stench of those who died beside me
Fetid, Bleeding
The wounded writhing on the bodies beneath me

These cycles of grief breed through the dreams that torment
Resist the infection
The anguish feculent and rotting
Cycles of life and death resume
The burden of these vestiges
Wearing a hole right through me

Young and hostile
I bought the lie they'd sell me
The true horrors of war shrouded in their gilded glory

This sense of loss is contagious
Spreading fear
A mass exodus of hope
A sea of tearful eyes forever fixed
Upon the elegance that is the setting sun
