I am a synthetic shell of the corpse inside
The living dead during the open curtain call
The masquerade is over and the truth is revealed
The raven quotes nevermore
To have walked in life I was dead
To walk in death I am alive
I have jumped over the moon never to return
In the storm of judgement, oppression reaks
as a disease on the homefront
The generals and commanders have retreated
and have held themselves captive in the tyranny
and ideals of self righteousness
Realizing that their legacy is entombed in cement instead of immortalized in marble
To dream is a fools errand nothing more nothing less
For when the wick burns its final light
The stage will be no more
