Ephemera

In this life An ephemera A perversity destined to fail Destined to fall The pertinent question of what we've been created for Why are we forced to be under darkened skies Such insignificant lives Consumed by mistrust We are the displeased Relish in the chaos You created A spec of dust Crepuscular dusk We are death wasting life with every breath We are children of man Consuming all Destroying all We went too far We were given this world and tore it apart Outliving our days as if we're eternal We went too far A glorious celebration Our livid desecration Parasites of life Devouring all Consuming all Consuming all With nothing left for our future to hold Corrupting all Corrupting all With everything left for humanity to abhor What are we trying to achieve We are nothing but a moment in time A lapse of reality What are we trying to perceive To pertain a certain importance The portent of man Illuminate me, show me the way Give me a reason What are we fighting for What are we fighting for Desecrate Our legacy is fornever "And God forsake us all" You will cry in the end When darkness falls Prey turns to pray The biggest farce of all We will die in the end The life we live is a burden And death is our salvation Our memories will last With the dead you leave behind Why are we forced to live a lie Is there no light? There is no light? A glorious celebration Our livid desecration Parasites of life Ending it all Consuming all Consuming all With nothing left for our future to hold Corrupting all Corrupting all With everything left for ourselves to destroy
