Drowning in a Cloud

Silence stands, a silent witness to the horrors
The wheel, it keeps turning, crushing spirits underneath
Betrayed by self-proclaimed protectors
Roses strangled by vile thorns
What's innate, in this self-sufficient cycle
We'll fade into obscurity

Everybody's coat drips with their blood
In the name of gods their throats were cut
A thousand burning hands reach t'wards the sky
Ashes covering the truth that they deny

A demon in each and all
The turning point we can't recall

I can't sleep, because
Every night I see the scythe
This nightmare's keeping me alive
This world is so cruel
We beg for reprieve
An urge we try to disguise

When we're cold
We scream in disgrace
We lack the force to change our ways
But now we're tangled in this fall!
Hear this enticing call
Evoking fears of drowning in a cloud
We can't lie still while they're bleeding out
Yet we are holding on to dreams!
Just let me disappear!

Inside our walls, the box has been reopened
The hymn of equality proven a lie
Innocent of royalty but guilty of avarice
We still remain, remain, remain, remain apathetic!

This haunting hypocrisy
The droplets now formed a sea
We hide behind our own decree
Our shadows have long grown old
A truth we try to hide

When we're cold
We scream in disgrace
We lack the force to change our ways
But now we're tangled in this fall!
Hear this enticing call
Evoking fears of drowning in a cloud
We can't lie still while they're bleeding out
Yet we are holding on to dreams!
Just let me disappear!
