One tale in time
Lost its meaning
We are immaculate mistakes
Refused to learn, denied the curve
The greatest joke we ever played
A tale as old as time
And what a time wasted it was
Sins of our fathers repeat if we reject them
Nothing left for grace, nothing but dead weight
Call upon a demon to testify
Force a fallen angel to abandon their king
Hold still and face a test of true faith
Screaming is normal, let the scriptures erase
We offer paradise, now all rise
Tongue-tied
Running blind
A tale in time
Let's get hooked on suffocation
Anything's a blessing when you're faced with damnation
I will be your new god
Out with the old and praise be to the few
Drown your demons in waters, burn your sorrows to ashes
And I promise for rebirth anew
In the day and the age of the radical
When everyone knows what's best
At one point I stopped asking why, so just tell me this
Was there ever a part that I fucking
Missed
(How far would you go to preserve your own way of life
To keep your homestead safe from the changes of the world around you
To what lengths would you interfere in the lives of others
Just so they cannot interfere with yours
Change isn't something to be feared
Change is what allowed your way of life to come to be
Things were never as they are now, and they never will be again
But fear of the unknown and the uncertain is strong, to be sure
A fear that what may come to be won't favor you as strongly as what already is
A fear deep-seated in the hearts and minds of every one of us
That's right
Fear
