LYRICS:
I look out into the constellations
There, a myriad of heroes fabricated to provide hope
Disillusion provided by the souls of fake martyrs
I watch the birth of a star
Beautiful in its innocence
The guiding light for us to follow
But we had our own agenda

An immigration of darkness choked the light
Leaking black oil with its lies
The mire of innocence set free by The Apple
And it was Sin that opened our eyes
Millennia passed, crowns turned to ash
The problem remained the same
It is love that fills the void
Yet the treasure we seek has already been claimed

The elements cry out
The air gasps for breath
The light of the star grows dim
A multitude of prophets dream in the night
And are granted a vision of Him
The formidable woes
The agony throes
The enslaved come crashing down
A burden we hope will fuel the flames
Yet in its depths we drown

And in the End
When Wrong is Right again
We stand up from the Fall
The Despondent Truth is this, my love
The Darkness is inside us all

I used to be in "poetry-reading" competitions in high school. I like using my voice in different ways. That was excellent reading. I really liked it.

I thought the background music sounded familiar. I haven't heard it for a long time. Great band, too bad they broke up.
