The New Disease

Fever rages through our hearts
Pestilence rains from the sky
Communal fears rip us apart
Gripping your children as the bodies are stacked high
There's no escape
Isolation of a masked face
A web of wires runs through our mind
Weaving empires that lack spine

Welcome to eternity
The new disease

One decision
Subjective risk and forced division
Pandemic waves
She casts her stone
No revision
Relinquished will and mass collision
The mind will cave
A father cannot be alone
Isolation
The walls I loved become a prison
Malignant hegemony
The colors fade to black to gray
Desperation
I need to grasp each grain of sand
It slips through my fingers
And falls from my hand

Slips through my fingers
And falls from my hand
Welcome to eternity
The new disease

We stand alone
United we divide
We'll spend eternity
Seeking serenity
Broken homes
And empty wombs
The new disease
We stand alone
Rising with the tide
I'll spend eternity
Wandering fervently
Empty thrones
And haunted moans
The new disease

As skies fall
The world's on fire
We should desire to love
From one to another
Like sister or brother
A father or mother
And press for revival
To shatter the grip
Of the vicious cycle
The cold black silhouette
The pestilent malicious threat
Of being undone

Slips through my fingers
And falls from my hand
Welcome to eternity
The new disease

We stand alone
United we divide
We'll spend eternity
Seeking serenity
Broken homes
And empty wombs
The new disease
We stand alone
Rising with the tide
I'll spend eternity
Wandering fervently
Empty thrones
And haunted moans
The new disease
