    (This is extremely complex and abstract. I wanted to do stuff that contrasts my usually simple song-writing. I only have a vague subject to this and I would love to hear YOUR interpretations, there's a lot to think about in this song....)

    (Intro)

    Deciphering the metaphors
    Deception is crucial to decision
    Crashing down, the unrighteous figures
    Twisted and perverted in all ways human
    Goring the innocent in ways unknown to the eye
    The way for it to end, transcending trends
    A decision that comes from within
    Guarding your conscience from sin

    CHORUS
    Illusions, the greatest danger
    Holding secrets to your anger
    Penetrating dreams, creating screams
    To hell we go as angels bleed

    The weaker get weaker as devils thrive
    We ignore them; its means to survive
    Illusions I said, our greatest danger
    Unwillingness to help the estranged stranger
    Arrogance everywhere, its our nature
    Ambiguous qualities without substance
    Illogical thoughts override the circumstance
    Crippled in life do not stand a chance

    (Solos)

    CHORUS

    Bleeding, as is my heart
    Rebellious nature a valuable mechanism
    Conformity, blind faith is only a schism
    Clarity, charity, back away from submission
    Evil comes in dark, abstract forms
    Shrouded in darkness by the unknown
    Fears crowded now as tension mounts
    Choosing the easiest option, escaping scorn.

    CHORUS

    (Slower tempo)
    Why must kindness cause derision?
    Alienation is your mission. (X2)
    Figures reforming again, I never called you a friend
    Please let this madness end, as I will be murdered again (X2)

    (Instrumental Section)

    Why must you come again......
