Look to your window and tell me what you see Someone painted our future bleak, tied our hands with yesterday The present lost in a repetition of constructed memory Another faceless civilian caught in a tedious conspiracy I pray these visions don't come true I pray they are watching over you, but I know they're not I see a black sun rising I see a black sun rising I see a black sun rising, overhead How long have I been laying here watching shadows upon the wall? Life cast by a faded flame, the only real I recall Did I drift reading Daniel's book? Did I wake to an angel's call?
