Amidst the glory of light, the darkness ascends with the company of clouds
As we fallen angels blend within the crowds, all the while remaining hidden by our shrouds
Wandering like lost souls pondering with open eyes, numb wounds, and sad smiles like tears of a clown
Because we see far too well what is going down
Let it unravel in my rhapsody because we notice the unseen tragedy in a world willfully ignorant to the grave dangers of apathy
Seeing the sin not in the religion or the dogma akin, but in the forsaking of another’s life based on their skin
The pure-hearted know this was the lie that was told and sold to the uneducated masses to maintain the position and hierarchy of classes
The pain is long, so I sing a song for the forgotten, downtrodden, and slain innocents
To the weak who couldn’t speak, I do this in remembrance
But, in order find the truth you seek, we must first lose all innocence
For the caged birds who still sing, for the youth who have been bereft of the truth
Because of histories rewritten by the legacy robbers who stole from the Original and erased all proof
Us who are angels with broken wings, look up as we are left to dwell in a manmade hell
But in order to dispel the suffering and create peace, knowing we must first rebel
