Envy Is Blind – Requiem lyrics

I've watched through the empty hole in the wall
To see nations rise and legions fall
I've seen through the vacant cracks in my eyes
The desolation of dreams we never realized

I've run down every page and every word
To see if meaning means anything in this world
I've cried out in vain in the streets at night
To invisible gods to hold up the light

Fate is cloud of dust and we are sleeping
In a vacuous flash of sorrow
And the choragos brings to us
A requiem for tomorrow

I'd try to move but I am still paralyzed with fear
I'd try to reach but I am still held back with tears
I'd try to run but we are still trapped in time
I'd try to see beyond but faith made me blind

I'd try to find providence and figure it out
I'd try to scream but the sonic waves drown me out
I'd try to breathe but the ashes cause me to choke
I'd look alive but my eyes are black with smoke

Fate is cloud of dust and we are sleeping
In a vacuous flash of sorrow
And the choragos brings to us
A requiem for tomorrow

To an empty sky we never realized
That with innocence lost we all pay the costs
And the tears we cried fall to both sides
As a blood stained heart runs to the same tide
Of the oceans blue and beauty true
Pray to the same gods for the ones we've loved
And in life's own divinity
Did we ever see
A better world for there to be?
