Eternal Decay

An endless awareness, condemned to perceive An absence of truth in the lies we believe We worship the shadows that sever the light And curse the eternal who gave us our sight We reach for the heavens with blood on our hands Demanding salvation, refusing to stand Before the empyrean, stripped of our pride We turn from the truth that we cannot deny Beneath the illusion, a truth lies concealed A part of the whole we refuse to reveal We search for a place we have never been We seek to reverse time Though we're eternal With blinding light to guide the way But we're reluctant to follow We seek to reverse time Though we're eternal With blinding light to guide the way But we're reluctant to follow We fracture the whole to preserve what we are Mistaking our wounds for the scars of the stars We beg for the truth, yet cannot see its face And curse the reflection that shows our disgrace We fashioned our prisons and named them our home Convinced we're abandoned, forsaken, alone The infinite whispers beneath our decay Yet we bury its voice in the lives we betray We seek to reverse time Though we're eternal With blinding light to guide the way But we're reluctant to follow We seek to reverse time Though we're eternal With blinding light to guide the way But we're reluctant to follow If we are eternal, why do we decay? If we are the infinite, why turn away? The light has been calling since before we could see Yet we curse the reflection of all we could be We seek to reverse time Though we're eternal With blinding light to guide the way But we're reluctant to follow We seek to reverse time Though we're eternal With blinding light to guide the way But we're reluctant to follow
