They looked up to the sky for the answers,
But in the end it was no use,
Searching in all the wrong places for the solutions,
Now it's time to build on a new foundation,
They walk the road not taken by many,
Not leaving a trace behind,
A pretty one way system that lead them astray,
Out of sight is out of mind,
Leading up to what lies ahead,
Crawling out of my skin as I shed,
Stepping back into the narrow,
Against the grain but with the flow,
Destined to be this was always,
Standing still in moving time,
Unfolding with the story of life,
We're just passing through,
Abaddon
They turn the quiet corner at first light,
Time to run the gauntlet again,
Standing for an ideal that never existed,
In this, the land of the damned,
Leading up to what lies ahead,
Crawling out of my skin as I shed,
Stepping back into the narrow,
Against the grain but with the flow,
Destined to be this was always,
Standing still in moving time,
Unfolding with the story of life,
We're just passing through,
Abaddon
Mystified we fantasize in false belief of freedom's lies,
Hypnotized and paralyzed while heroes fall and Heaven dies,
They march on through the damage in silence,
No one ever sees a face,
Stare at the backs of the angels that give no forgiveness,
Their candle has gone out,
Leading up to what lies ahead,
Crawling out of my skin as I shed,
Stepping back into the narrow,
Against the grain but with the flow,
Destined to be this was always,
Standing still in moving time,
Unfolding with the story of life,
We're just passing through,
Abaddon
