AngelMaker - The Veil lyrics

I, in loneliness will wither away
If I let the
Over bearing weight of the world consume me
The future is as bright, as the city lights
An empire of naught built upon a crown of rot

Your masks cannot hide the strength in
Which you left to die
Wasting precious time burnt alive
Next thing you know you've pissed
Away your precious life

The days of judgement draw near
They will not pardon you
When your thirsty and cold will
You know what to do?
Insurrection ensues and all you
Cry for is help
You’ve failed to see the signs it’s time
To pay for pain that’s dealt

All we do is consume, expel and rot away
We live our lives so blind
Looming hell impending

What do you stand for? Who does it benefit?
Why endorse all the horrors of the innocent?
Where are your calluses?
Where is your composure?
Choosing to filter love and
Overload with fear

Who are we to blame for all the ways
Leading us into an age of ruin?
Our forefathers blame theirs
Passed the veils, the meagre ways will fail
Fail us all let our will determine who
Shall thrive or die

I’m sickened by the cycle of
The world surrounding me
Slipping through the holes of my own insanity
We, the purveyors of our own calamity
Take a step back
Is this what you want to be?
How far do we go and at what cost?
Fleeting fame feeding egos so lost
We’re trapped inside a cage but
The door is unlocked
It’s thrive or die but at what cost?

How long can we sustain these crimson ways?
How far can we go before collapsing?
Just listen to the world and all her agony
Your lack of contribution utterly disgusts me
Youʼll probably say Iʼm wrong
You soon shall surely see
An age of regress is written in prophecy

Who are we to blame for all the ways
Leading us into an age of ruin?
Our forefathers blame theirs
Passed the veils, the meagre ways will fail
Fail us all let our will determine who
Shall thrive or die
