"Ascend" lyrics

There's a reason I can't look you in the eye
Living in ignorance, a cruel disguise
Pockets full of greed, to see what hatred breeds
We must break the mask of pride

Strip the walls of satisfaction
Abide and comply
We built their pillars of gold
How will we survive?

I watch the sun drain through the cracks in the sky
I'll let you burn for all our hope was denied
Watch as the sun drains through the cracks in the sky
Return to bone, ascend into the night

(There's a reason why we preach hate)
('Cause we're divided by our own disdain)
(Are we waiting to be saved?)
Or are we shattered by the truth we face?

Witness truth in devastation
Abide or deny
The script was written in stone
We're prisoners in our minds

I feel the odds stacked against me
Unmistakable, unforgivable
Egos built on our paper fields
We break the mask of pride

We built these pillars of gold
How did we survive?

I watch the sun drain through the cracks in the sky
I'll let you burn for all our hope was denied
Watch as the sun drains through the cracks in the sky
Return to bone, ascend into the night
(Ascend into the night)

I watch the sun drain through the cracks in the sky
Return to bone, ascend into the night

There's a reason why we preach hate
We're divided by our own disdain
Are we waiting to be saved?
Shattered by the truth we face

Ascend
Ascend
Ascend
Ascend into the night
