Ascending
Every stride I take more frantic than the last
In fervor
Putting all the pieces in place
Reconcile
Knowledge with the state of life
Revelation
Observation philosophized
Focus, try
Rise up, why
Arrogance, insecure sophistry
Hardened hearts, spite filled gesturing
Anger ruled, anti empathy
Sharpened tongues, spitting hypocrisy
Feigning humanity while hope dies
Given everything that man could desire
Where does it end
Selfish action, greedy swindles and liars
How can you live
Forward looking, only 'til evenings fire
Tomorrow what then
Turn your back to former friends and conspire
Honor is dead
My hands touch the sky, the wind is my breath
The waning suns fire, the colors beset
Your eyes in this light, empty as death
This summit tonight, shows your assent to the lies
