The People Are Puppets At The Gates

A world run in the fires of man

Our control, our fate are as intertwined

As the grooves of the hand

And upon this time of our naivety

Drowning in the silence

Of a self-willed condemnation



We find ourselves the puppet people

Are convicted

The open waters of greed consumes us

Alas the time draws near

For what we knew is not

And what we are not, we are



The time of reckoning is looming

Foreshadowing what the end brings

The mother has decided

We have seen what has been

The time has come for us

The children to be weened

But purity will not see us fly



We fear

When every soul brought fourth in front of Saint Peter

That of which we stand

We look toward

The grounding of our creation crumbles

And we fall



From the poison seeds that willed our creation

No man of Adam may enter serenity

We find ourselves abandoned

And may the Eve of our sin

Be thy salvation…..
