Hourglass

Privileged
 A chosen few
 Blessed with our time in hell
 Witness a divine vision
 The day we all fell still
 Rapture of the dying age
 A shattered hourglass
 Wrath of the warring gods and so this too shall pass
 ♪
 It's only getting worse
 Not worth a moment's regret
 Each dawn another curse
 Every breath a twisting blade
 What will be left behind in the ashes of the wake
 An ill wind blows this way
 The edge of the envelope burns
 Forbearance and my vengeance
 Payment for your intent
 Fear and death in the wings
 In thrall of those fallen from grace
 Petty is as petty does
 Witness the mass disgrace
 God forbid you read the signs
 Watch for meanings between the lines
 Gehenna has now arrived
 No hindsight for the blind
 Your trust has been misplaced
 Believed the lies told to your face
 Became another casualty and now it's too late
 ♪
 You finally made it home
 Draped in the flag that you fell for
 And so it goes
 The ashes of the wake
 ♪
 Its only getting worse
