When Darkness Reigns

Project 86

My failure is so evident 
And I cannot hide the torment 
Face first to the earth 
Plagued by the earthly mind set 
I cannot escape my basement 
Face first to the earth 
Hands around my neck
I might as well bow in shame
Overmatched, outwitted 
Defeat is my only name 
I believe everything you tell me 
You've got me convinced I'm guilty 
I'd better close my eyes and sleep 
Runaway because tomorrow's a better day 
But this is your hour when darkness reigns... 
When darkness reign across the channels and mediums 
I feel the loss 
Face to face with the possible death of dreams
Mental purity fades to the obscene 
Hence the search for another crutch 
Another void fill, another cane to serve as much 
And we'll mourn for death of the bother lost 
And we'll toast to the death of another farce 
Have I lost the battle? 
Have I lost the war? 
Do I have what it takes to endure the setbacks, ignore the scars 
You'd have me adopt that suicide 
You'd have me succumb without reply 
But you forgot the thousand deaths I've died 
You'd have me continue this pace 
You'd have me join your race 
But that grave will be nothing but an empty space 
Arise from the dead, O sleeper 
Prepare for the battle cry 
Because this is the hour when truth divides... 
When truth divides it's done 
Revive the sick, the surge of blood 
Grab a torch and we'll light and burn 
Ignite offensives to claim the loss of sight 
Wipe the sleep form your eyes
Release the fate of soul demise 
And it's clear for you to understand that the smoke will clear and fill the land 
And now the claims are made 
Downcast eyes accompany shame 
The chaos amassed against will redirect to find a home anew 
To face the depths... 
You've lost my enemy 
Now taste defeat 
Now taste your own saliva 
Because you'll never quench the heat 
Arise from the dead and wake
