Oppressed by our own hands
No pity shall we seek
Dark silence takes control
We fear the deepest depths of our self
Solitude speaks truth to us
In isolation see with open eyes
Anxiously awaiting judgement
For we know not the outcome
Insomnia holds us hostage
No strength to be found
In this dream like existence
We fear what lay ahead
Becoming a ghost of what we once were
The shelter in silence
The empty shells of men
We thought we had traveled so far
The towers crumble
In this fragile earthly state
Strength needs to be forged in iron
To exist in this plague filled land
