A Phantom Dissonance

The chorus of life has spoken;

past has the child of reason.

Fading through winters' lonely passage

We crawl at the feet of evolution

Some became kings and some became gods

and the rest just followed,

swallowed their freedom and joined the charade

We did not realize we all had lost,

we locked the door and hid our shame

in this environment of fear

A hopeless scenario of apathy unleashed,

a dreadful travesty captured and revealed...

Shown under a cloak of loud indifference,

where the human stain kisses the pestilence

Gather for life's final hour

Cold hands reaching for the fire

Some became wolves and some became sheep,

and eyes sown shut governed our frozen

perspective of the world

We did not realize we all had lost,

we locked the door and hid our shame

in this environment of fear

A phantom dissonance;

The quiet storm erupts the eminence...

of sickness born

A hopeless scenario of apathy unleashed,

a dreadful travesty captured and revealed...

Shown under a cloak of loud indifference,

where the human stain kisses the pestilence
