Shapers of the Longing

Blinded by the illusion of peace
A trail is left for no one to follow
For we are the bearers, the harvesters
Of the seed of destruction
Gifted with the innate capability to lie and deceive,
We thrive feeding on the pain brought on to others
Is in our hands where we'll find our demise

Allied with hypocrisy, praising an entity
To justify our sins
Preachers of peace through conflict
Unable and willing to fill the ever-growing void

We are believers of the only right
To stand above the natural order
Claiming possession over life and land
Crowned ourselves as the masters of all
Seduced and betrayed by our vanity
The pillars crumble below our feet
The predator became prey
Ignorant of the end that's drawing near

Fear begins to crawl up their spine
When they realize they do not have much time left
They try to hold on to their illusion
Apathetic to know the wheels of their fate
Are in motion
Stepping on each other to survive at all cost
Pulled down by jealousy and hate of their own blood
The fight will end, when they are all gone
Once and for all

The superior race gave birth to corruption
A false perfection, sickening this world
We are the ones that brought to life all grief and wretchedness

Our dreams can take any shape
Different shades are painted within our soul

Our grandeur will fade away
Leaving a deserted place
Guilt will find its way
when there's no more left to say
Even now when all seems lost
There are those who still keep hope
For some seek to destroy
But many others seek to build-up
A world for those to come

Our body is the bridge between reality and dreams

Have you seen the visions come alive?
Just for an instant, the pieces come together as one
Among the endless possibilities wIthin the mind
Unknown worlds await to be materialized

With their restless mind and bare hands
The craftsmen of beauty itself arise
Wondering beyond their own sight
For the answers and meaning of this life

Sonorous emotions, through the air, awaken the heart
Finding a long-forgotten memory
Natural perfection caught forever through bewitched eyes
Pouring life into an empty canvas

Shapers we are, of our deepest desire
We hand over the longing to the world
Remember us

And we make reality all that we see
While we dream with our opened eyes
Imagination leads us forward
From simple words that give us another life
To the oldest monuments
That resist the hunger of decay

Yet in our tininess, we try to understand
Every single form of life
The workings of nature, its perfect machinery
To protect it from ourselves

Neverending questioning revealing just a grain of sand
Unraveling our reality
Ephemeral existence resounding for ages to come
Traces of the gift of reason
Shapers we are, of our deepest desire
We hand over the longing to the world
Remember us

We are just one
We've built a place we can call home
In the night sky
You'll find what longs to be awaken
