Perpetrator - From Sorrow To Serenity

Fire engulfs us

Violence culls us

Every empire falls and now our time has come

As I observe this madness from the confines of isolation

I begin to ask myself

Is there purpose in defiance?

I watch the masses elevate a masochistic patriarch of hate

Who’s only aim is to laugh in the face of fate

In our misguidedness

We’re ready to fucking rip this world apart

Humanity splits and throws the blame from side to side

What have we done?

Isn’t it amazing how we’re susceptible to triviality?

Like we’re trapped in a dream and the horrors of the world do not exist

Intolerant to empathy

We shy away from doing the right thing

Holding hope in our hearts that everything will be okay

Shall we close our eyes and wish it all away?

Instead of taking chances to wake up

Why do we stay?

We believe the lies and deceit based on the hate in our own hearts

I can’t believe we got this far

Look at us

We’re at the pinnacle

Will we be revered as gods?

When will you realise that you’re the perpetrator

Fire engulfs us

Violence culls us

Every empire falls and now our time has come

They poison us with what we fear but do not understand

Weak for words colliding with our insecurities

They take advantage so we’re easier to segregate

In the name of divide and conquer

And when the end has come

We’ll rise up from the ashes

Embracing the heat from the sun

Asking ourselves how did this come to pass?

We believe the lies and deceit based on the hate in our own hearts

I can’t believe we got this far

Look at us

We’re at the pinnacle

Will we be revered as gods?

When will you realise that you’re the perpetrator

Fire engulfs us

Violence culls us

Every empire falls and now our time has come
