Threshold

Atmosphere is cold
 Tension cuts like a knife
 Hazed are the eyes
 Reflecting shadows of the past
 Nothing moves -
 They all just stare.
 Inner peace is gone
 Tainted by time
 Our great leaders
 The leaders of man
 They lied to us all
 They tried to pretend.
 They tightened the rope around your neck
 Distorted all your views until the bitter end.
 Carry the cross,
 The cross of burden
 Only memories remain
 Looking for new life
 The fear of the end
 Lives in all of us
 Heart and soul of man
 Ravaged by greed
 Heart and soul of man
 Ravaged by greed
 Denial and deception
 Feed the sorrow
 Divided as we fall
 Break the solemn vow
 Atmosphere is cold
 Tension cuts like a knife
 Hazed are the eyes
 Reflecting shadows of the past
