The Distorting Light

Turbulent images, what's false and what's real
 A world viewed through a filtered eye
 Conceal the truths we refuse to believe
 Cloud our vision, distorting it all
 The wicked and corrupt surround us
 Their perpetual horrors so blurred
 Creating the visions that mislead us
 Hiding the terror we're not meant to see
 War torn and ravaged
 Justify the death
 The dead will never challenge
 The means to our end
 Dark light so blinding
 The truth is never clear
 Our paradise of wonder
 Crumbles before our very eyes
 Feel its hot rays shine down upon us
 Its scorching radiance forms burning apparitions of fear
 A world turned on end
 Where devils become Gods
 Born into the chaos
 We seek the divine
 Cast in its light, soothing and calm
 But what will we see when the light is gone
