I once thought our future looked bright
How naive to believe in such lies
Incessantly followed by my own shadows throughout the night
Was the world always so dark
I once held onto my faith and it's light
But it's embers have all but been washed away
I can't continue knowing that ashes are all that awaits me
Oh please God save my soul
Was the storm just passing through
What reprieve does deceive fleeting minds
Seemingly hopeless, still seeing glimmers inside of my heart
Could this war still be fought on
I've spent years listening to snakes and their lies
But their deception has all been revealed in time
Trust has been broken, truths go unspoken, yet the world spins on
Oh please God save their souls
