Hourglass

Privileged, a chosen few

Blessed with our time in hell

Witness a divine vision

The day we all fell still

Rapture of the dying age

Our shattered hourglass

Wrath of the warring gods

And so this too shall pass

It's only getting worse

Not worth a moment's regret

Each dawn, another curse

Every breath, a twisting blade

What will be left behind in the ashes of the wake?

An ill wind blows this way

The edge of the envelope burns

Forbearance and my vengeance

Payment for your intent

Fear and death in the wings

In thrall of those fallen from grace

Petty is as petty does

Witness the mass disgrace

(Fear and death in the wings)

(In thrall of those fallen from grace)

(Petty is as petty does)

(Witness the mass disgrace)

God forbid you read the signs

Watch for meanings between the lines

Gehenna has now arrived

No hindsight for the blind

Your trust has been misplaced

Believed the lies told to your face

Became another casualty

And now it's too late

You finally made it home

Draped in the flag that you fell for

And so it goes

The ashes of the wake

(It's only getting worse)

(It's only getting worse)

(It's only getting worse)

It's only getting worse

It's only getting worse
