(Tales of bitterness lyrics)

The illusion in us all - a social parasite 
Manipulating circumstance or a judgment stigmatized? 
The inner revolution, the ruins of the heart 
These are tales of bitterness let me take you to the start 

I feel it coming down 
And waiting at my door 
My god so far away 
Does he need me anymore? 

We travel in this rapid form 
Unable to fulfill our dreams 
The fleeting thoughts of yesteryear 
Impossible for you to breed 

Songs of a shattered lifetime – modern day dramatics 
Another contradiction is rising through the conflicts 
Nothing lasts forever 
Nothing stays the same 
We are magnificent material exposed to decay 

At the farthest reaches of my sight 
You’re not there 

Where are you now? 
As I cry for my reprieve 
Where are you now? 
As I become who I am supposed to be 

Tear my heart 
Ease my pain 
Further below us yet so up high 
This paradise will never survive 

The wrath of mankind means nothing here 
The hands of the liar will seal my fate 
I am burning alive 

As the angels weep, the prophet decrees 
“Withered wings shall befall the kings”
