Deafening silence permeates the futile existence of man

Our job to define what reality our fragile minds create

Hate and jealousy cloud sound judgment in a fog

Pride and envy pollute the pure intention of goodwill

Selfishness and vanity replace contentment with uneasy angst

The will of man is to destroy what is created and undo all that is good

The dark hearts of men rule unkind over all that they purvey

Who rides the noble stead of justice in a land with no kings

Will there be no knight of purity igniting the fire of freedom within mankind

Our fates were sealed before we were even born

Forever repeating the mistakes of men fallen long ago

Ours is but a blink in the eye of time, a droplet in the river of life

Who has power to change ordinary men into kings of righteousness

Who even cares to wear a crown of broken hearts and dreams

What does it take to change the essence of a man

It takes time to change

Time, the ultimate enemy of discovery disappearing with every breath

Only given enough to define a lifetime that most will forget

What could it take to change the essence of mankind

Only time can tell that story
