lyrics

somehow I can feel it
but we cannot see it
the plague that we've become
there is no hope
there is no way
the beauty of our minds turned gray
we've gone blind
resigned mankind

born in a sea of diamonds
immaculate tragedy on a new horizon
millions lost alone merely strung together
by never ending moments ignored forever
we are the great mistake
the great mistake is mankind

inhale in the air we poisoned
exhale the lunacy
we are the culprit of our own fatuity

oh what a shame that blessed be our name yet blessed be our burden

can't you see it with your eyes?
we're running out of time
complacency is ignorance,
the flaw in our design
and if the whole world is blind
will we still stand out in time?
as long as this world stays imperfect
destiny won't be kind.

deaf from the volume of silence
the absence of humanity for all around us
sifting through the fiction of a broken system
we only fear the snake when we become the victim
we are the great mistake
the great mistake is mankind

rise, become the senses in the senseless mind
fall, and choke on the very hand that feeds you
ignite, awake the unawoken
fade, and fall into an unmarked grave
