Map of Broken Dreams
Severed ties from the familiar Lead us home Somewhere we'll never be Our pilgrimage Towards the unseen For tradition tastes so vile Unbeknownst we take the stance servile Never will the path at birth decide our final hour Never shall the motherland hold me to the ground

Things you cannot understand Why all others deserve a chance You should just know Your arrogant and wandering mind I chose you to be left behind Don't you see Should your smallest dream come true It was not something meant for you Selfish child The path I guide you on by fear Your voice that no one wants to hear Waste of time Now comes the time to pass this on May this burden throw you to the ground Please, I don't even understand How everyone is something more than me This worthless journey on This map of broken dreams These distant dying lights A solace laced with guilt How hopelessly we go Wandering through the night Still, your work is never done You salt the earth again Out of the dark form silhouettes Their voices resound in a spiral dance This longing and loneliness we all must share And so their hands form a black abyss Into the void we journey on Worthless foundations our new home The horror that we may walk astray That maybe your hand won't shape your fate This sick vision you try to ingrain Shall never colour my world Could you ever answer Any questions that might have given us A silver of self worth A moment in the sun Never would you destroy this grand delusion Where we are placed beneath everyone else As you weave the cloak to your Failures spun from our misery Did you ever consider Detached, we strengthen our resolve

Scripted genetic lines of code With augmented wings we soar to touch the face of god - a machine Augment the great condition May the arc our species takes be guided by ourselves Now we arrive in the hands of few Who builds us as they choose All limitations crushed at their source But is the skin we shed what made us who we are? Turn our desire to create upon ourselves to free us from The cruelest shackles of this earthly path to expand beyond the stars Spiraling sequence, distance us from ancestors Where do I begin? Conscious machine... What am I? The path towards perfection lies ahead Singular To turn away now is to take a stance against ourselves Within every cell, complex machinery Waiting four us to find our perfect form Our past has plagued us with the suffering of all Reminded by our form of an unsurmounted world

Once these lanterns glow All familiar faces go But how could you have known Wanderer You don't belong Now I own your name Will you ever see your world again? Leaving all we know behind Now we are far from The realm of our own kind Bound here, never coming home Now we must go forth and brave this realm unknown Sweep across the endless sea Carry us onward this desolate rail For saving those who are now in need Those who watched over us Parting words Never fear child We will meet again Go now home bound You are braver than you know Leaving

The vault's blood has spilled through the land The siren's cry with the crimson at hand Vault hunters come to pandora And welcome, to your death Will you join us? Will you stand against the man named Jack? Oh, Angel, why must you die? An empire of your children's own blood Your mask now thrown aside This bandit hand of mine This ain't no place for heroes

All hail the rays of the sun Its radiation unites us as one But where the sun may no longer provide Other radiation must give life And I confide in ticking counters telling stories Of choices long ago, now whispers in the dust Bask in the glow surrounding Give myself some clarity Proud home our new found wasteland Earth shed the human disease O, Priestess of the black rain Saintly luminescent glow Oracle of skyborne sickness Whisper what may help us cope Sacred mushroom in the sky Please expose us to the light Its intoxicating glow shall paint the world a deathly white Fall upon us from the sky The poison dust from the divine Thought of a new dawn Just my irradiation Everyone is gone now Drowned out by the waves

Harrowed, the name and place between them Deathly silence You see, there are two kinds in this world You keep digging Just fire, just shoot the rope you bastard I'm inches from my death here You can't do this without me I'm worth too much All will kill again! For one unnamed grave If you save your breath I feel that a man like you could manage it As the rat washes his feet, his mocking laughter dries out in the desert sun When you have to shoot, shoot don't talk But if you miss, you had better miss very well In this blood stained gulch we stand Feet above the ground All will kill again! For one unnamed grave Tomb stones, their cross heads dance around them The time for words is past us Death's hand won't leave you this time You're worth too much All will kill again! For one unnamed grave One rides away One dead, one left hanging

Foot of the mountain Hidden from the sun So too the bodies Lifeless they hang Was the black sea calling you Silent its embrace Here while every voice would come to form part of the background Would the quietest voice of all finally make some sense All we share between us How we end All but silence left our minds long ago Solitary march towards the only hope that things may change Strange, it seems rather we leave behind this dismal, endless void Detached, devoid Constant encroaching tension Insurmountable, this perpetual burden All of those around me, I owe Absolved, resolved Weight lifted For them, for me
