Against the black curtain of time
I see the seasons change
By the time my bell will chime
I'm on another plane
With the world engulfed in madness
And a social state of mind
The messiah to the masses
It's failure by design
Rolling tides of revolution
See them rise and fall
In this failing institution
Heaven pray for us all
Heaven pray for us now
With the world engulfed in madness
And a social state of mind
The messiah to the masses
It's failure by design
Marching zealots bring a flame to this world of paper dolls
Finding comfort in the light and we burn ourselves alive
I can't escape the memories
Of the years I spent in vain
All for a new solution
To an age old game... down in flames
With the world engulfed in madness
And a social state of mind
The messiah to the masses
It's failure by design
