Children running
Racing seraphim
Moving forward
Faster, grey and thin
Losing perception
Ignorant and hostile
Fallacies multiplying
Insolence and trojan smiles

Draining slowly
Cold and seething
Step back and force it down
To keep me dreaming
Falling slowly
Feeling nothing
I cut myself a mouth
To keep me breathing

Decimate
Fighting a winning battle, losing a war
Desolate
No hope before us for a kinder world

Fighting a winning battle
Losing a war
No hope before us for a kinder world
But what a beautiful way to burn
What a beautiful way to burn
What a beautiful way to burn
What a beautiful way to burn

The memories of the past
Take their place amongst the hopeless
As you tighten your grip
Just to stay in control
And your heart skips a beat
As the world you know collapses
As you tie off your veins
Just to steady the flow

Students of ignorance
Eating holes in our defense
Tying tighter tourniquets
Praise the God asphyxiant
Hellion
Hellion
Hellion
Hellion

A grace that tears a void
Movement our eyes avoid
The strain
Our bridges collapsing
And through the throat of drought
I'll show you where we drowned
Away
A fever relapsing
