Shadows Of History

A dark sky, a dark need
Everything is ash, everywhere is burned
A world destroyed by sheer greed
We never asked, I never learned
Another cold front rolls in
I'm impaled by the ice and snow
How could we let this happen
Don’t pretend you didn’t know

We can’t escape from here now
Let's face what we made
Or succumb to our doubts
And sing to our graves
We can't run away now
Going down with the ship
Can we call ourselves proud
Without consequence

Waves rolling off the rock
Shadows of history
Echos behind the lock
No longer mystery

A dark deal, a dark dance
Crossing lines with twisted words
They dismiss all rights and stance
Letting voices go unheard
Led by leaders with no mind
A life sentence is our debt
Only care for their own kind
Fell right into the trap they set

We can’t escape from here now
Let's face what we made
Or succumb to our doubts
And sing to our graves
We can't run away now
Going down with the ship
Can we call ourselves proud
Without consequence

Waves rolling off the rock
Shadows of history
Echos behind the lock
No longer mystery

Were all just raindrops in the flood
And after all that we put her through
The shirking blame of the overlord
Now tell me what are you gonna do
Stoking the might of our infernal grave
Soon you will find you can not be saved

Waves rolling off the rock
Shadows of history
Echos behind the lock
No longer mystery
Waves rolling off the rock
Shadows of history
Echos behind the lock
No longer mystery
