A Monument to Illusions Video (MV)

Fighting for a trophy which
Breaks more with each breath you take
Born of fire and drowned in blood
This is your self-built prize
Digging further down
Away from the dreams you hold
Now choose to own a ruin or share what we don't know

There's nowhere left to run, and nowhere left to hide
Time was never on your side
You've stabbed your mother through the heart
And claimed your lessers as your prize
Boasting of your victory in a game that you've rigged
Drowned without regard for even yourself
So proud of your intelligence that's lead you to this state
A barren stone in emptiness, a monument to illusions
You've thrown yourself away

Burnt until the depths of solitude
Worth the wait for the weight?
Now speak of what you saw
And what it turned out to be

There's nowhere left to run, and nowhere left to hide
Time was never on your side
You've stabbed your mother through the heart
And claimed your lessers as your prize
Boasting of your victory in a game that you've rigged
Drowned without regard for even yourself
So proud of your intelligence that's lead you to this state
A barren stone in emptiness, a monument to illusions
You've thrown yourself away

Overpowered by the mirage
Unhindered thought lifetimes away
Addicted to dreaming of more of yourself
While suffocating the dreams of your own
You would sacrifice what you will never see
This damnation is not the way that we are meant to be

There's nowhere left to run, and nowhere left to hide
Time was never on your side
You've stabbed your mother through the heart
And claimed your lessers as your prize
Boasting of your victory in a game that you've rigged
Drowned without regard for even yourself
So proud of your intelligence that's lead you to this state
A barren stone in emptiness, a monument to illusions
You've thrown yourself away
