So It Begins...

The time has come, you've been forsaken
For all the wrong you've done, and who will care
When you're dead and gone, no one will shed a tear for you
A life of crime, now feel retribution, it's too late for repentance

Drown in self pity, it's never your fault
Your crimes you try to justify

Shield yourself from your lies, selective vision
Seen through your eyes, drown out the sound of your cries

Fight oppression in this world, breeding ignorance
Lie there on your back, waiting for fate to take hold

Life's a fragile balance, one we can't ignore
Living for yourself, the future is unseen

There's a message to uncover, when you read between the lines
No compassion for our brothers, apathy for the dying
Inward thought is accepted, a society in denial
Revel in your own greed, so begins your demise

There's a better way to become what you want
Planning for tomorrow is the place to start

Can you hear the screams or shattered dreams
Take solace in your vanity, no remorse for all sins committed
Selfish and unrepentant, humanity lost and gone forever
You found your fortune at what cost

Drown in self pity, surrounded by lies
You are trapped in these walls

There's a better way to become what you want
Planning for tomorrow is the place to start
Or are we wasting time

You're only running from yourself, and you know there's no one
Left to blame for all your sins when you're left to die
For the ones you could have saved

Left to live for, left to die for
