From The Gutter To The Throne
All the dark places man has gone
There's so much to learn
In front of us
All the sadness we have known
And the madness we have shown
Can we escape the wheel
We're stuck upon?
From beginning to end
All the time that we've spent
Chasing dreams
As the veil ascends
Will we cease to pretend that we're free?
Led to all of the hate
Countless fears
As the darkness descends
Will we ever transcend
And find out what it means?
We're the ones that failed to grow
Even though we've lived before
In this land that has replenished us
One day soon will come a storm
That will wash away all that's born
All the will remain will be forsaken
Take a look in the mirror
Do you like what you see?
Is your reflection getting clearer
Is it what you like it to be?
The books have all been written
Now it's up to history
Our final days are getting nearer
It's time to rise up and be free?
From beginning to end
All the time that we've spent
Chasing dreams
As the veil ascends
Will we cease to pretend that we're free?
Led to all of the hate
Countless fears
As the darkness descends
Will we ever transcend
And find out what it means?
There's a hand made of stone
Holding down our ascent
Truth be known
We stand alone
All alone
Take a look in the mirror
Do you like what you see?
Is your reflection getting clearer
Is it what you like it to be?
The books have all been written
Now it's up to history
Our final days are getting nearer
It's time to rise up and be free?
From beginning to end
All the time that we've spent
Chasing dreams
As the veil ascends
Will we cease to pretend that we're free?
Led to all of the hate
Countless fears
As the darkness descends
Will we ever transcend
And find out what it means?
