from FuturePerfect
I thought the future held a perfect place for us
That together we would learn to be the best that we could be
In my naivity I ran I fell and lost my way
Somehow I always end up falling over me
And one day I woke to find the future had no place for me
I was unwanted in a world that with my hands I helped build
Where once was honesty and pride I now stand broken and alone Just a shadow of what I was ment to be
They say that "Time will heal"
"The truth shall set us free"
Well that depends on what it is that you choose to believe
In this prison made of lies we see what it is we want to see
And find comfort in this broken hall of dreams
Does anybody feel the way I do?
Is there anybody out there?
Are you hearing me?
I believe in you Will you believe in me?
Or am I alone in this hall of dreams?
I believe in you You believe in me
But I have no trust in anything
Somehow I'm always always falling over me
Somehow I'm always I'm always falling over me.
Kingdom
from Empires
Our domain, this kingdom come
Now godless lands whose ways are lost.
Without the strength to carry on.
All values lost all virtue none.
Did you think you would be saved
by burning flags to cleanse yourselves of shame?
Or are you afraid as you stare back at your face?
are you ashamed, are you afraid, by destroying what the gods had made?
Did you think you would be saved?
I believe that we'll conceive to make in hell for us a heaven.
A brave new world. A promised land.
A fortitude of hearts and minds.
Until I see this kingdom is mine,
I'll turn the darkness into light.
I'll guide the blind.
My will be done until the day I see this kingdom has been won.
No more the servants of the weak devoid of thought or light to seek.
I'll leave no walls, no stone unturned.
Every tower to be razed to the dust from which it came.
None will be spared, no remnant saved.
Are you ashamed, are you afraid, of the gods and idols you have made?
Did you think you would be saved by the gods and idols you have made?
None will be saved. None will be saved.
