Alabaster Eyes

This is the last time they'll control us
The final refuse of the damned
For all our lives we've seen
Betrayal from the righteous
Lead astray by shackled hands

We're falling
Descending
Tongues are removed
From empty heads
Our fate is unchosen
Our courage rises from the dead

We for centuries eroded away
Bowing down to no one's master
Still they treat us with abhorrence again
Staring back with alabaster eyes

We've cast aside our shriveled casings
Became more than meets the eye
Held up by slaves that wish
They'd never seen the daylight
And cast our blood across the sky

They're folding
Eroding
Bound to their voices after all
Expect our resistance
It's now or never
One for all

We for centuries eroded away
Bowing down to no one's master
Still they treat us with abhorrence again
Staring back with alabaster eyes

We for centuries eroded away
Bowing down to no one's master
Still they treat us with abhorrence again
Staring back with alabaster eyes
We've been crowned the kings of embers
My friends
Risen from the smoking ashes
Rulers of the burning kingdom of men
And staring back with alabaster eyes
