Anapfora - This Ruined Road Lyrics

If today were gamely played
Upon the brightest lit stage
I could barely see the face at stake
As anything more than
A failed fate, facile fiction
A sad attempt at contradiction

Lies from a liar
Shed the same skin
As the truths that fall from those bitter lips
Lies from a liar
Pierce the same skin
As the rapier slaying our future

Darkened and bound
Darkness ahead
Ruination behind
This ruined road

He shall make us mad as a parade of mercurial hatters, tattered
His very genius taken by the infection
Of the device of his own creation

Lies from a liar
Shed the same skin
As the truths that fall from those bitter lips
Lies from a liar
Pierce the same skin
As the rapier slaying our ruined future
