Out Of Ruin, Misery

I have dreamt in shades of red
That with our hands we’d raise the dead
Let us behold all that we have done;
Immortal, privileged, among us lies not one

Indifferent, the waves crash down
Indifferent, we are bound

I have seen in shades of red
And upon the remains of incredible rage, we stand
Though we aspire, and long to transcend
A great divorce from earth’s cruel hand shall not be won by the likes of man

Indifferent, the waves crash down
Indifferent, we are bound

For centuries, our reach extended not beyond the trees
Yet now, we’ve breached the skyline and mapped the seas
Still, the earth bends farther than we see
And in the end, we will all be swallowed up by the deep

Do we shape this endless hate with sculptor’s touch, our eyes ablaze?
Or does it seek us out as prey, and fan our flames?
For I see in red
For I see in red
For I see in red
And it’s all that’s left

Forever we break and cannot mend
As crowns fall from the heads of men!
