"Our Pillars Fall" lyrics

And here we are once again
On the eve of our dying breath
A plummet into nothingness
Failing to learn determined to repeat

A chaotic descent into madness
Willing participants to the end
History's lessons have fallen
On our deaf ears

Our journey for conquest
Always leads to the same outcome
How many times
Shall we watch the pillars fall

A thirst for power
That can never be quenched
First the spirit must be broken
Poisoned the well
And act surprised at the outcome

Clutching onto every single word
As if we've seen everything
With our own eyes
Praying for our ill fate
The strong now mocked
For seeing beyond this veil

Watching from behind cold dead eyes
Yearning for nothing of substance
People so ready to fight
But to fight only their own
Set to cause a collapse from inside
While others watch on in delight
Taking no comfort in discomfort
Will be our last dying breath

Our journey for conquest
Always leads to the same outcome
How many times
Shall we watch the pillars fall
A thirst for power
That can never be quenched
First the spirit must be broken
Poisoned the well
And act surprised at the outcome

Clutching onto every single word
As if we've seen everything
With our own eyes
Praying for our ill fate
The strong now mocked
For seeing beyond this veil

Clutching onto every single word
As if we've seen everything
With our own eyes
Praying for our ill fate
The strong now mocked
For seeing beyond this veil
