• Silk skies smile with wide eyes for miles
    a maze of denial defiles my mind
    so each pain is assigned a sign
    I say Im fine so you will never find the truth
    To an oh, so familiar state of mind, I fall
    it is similar to reality, but sanity and formalities
    are non-existant
    The table was thrown to the ground by an angel
    So let's start over and forget the past
    Our Rooks are in the Corners
    Our Pawns in proper order
    Bishops by the leaders and Knights at the ready
    we stumble into something like freedom
    When you look at your morning toast, what do you you see?
    Is it Mary, mother of God,
    who prays for us sinners now and at the hour of our death?
    Or is it Barack Obama?
    Or maybe, just maybe, you see burnt bread
    because you read too much into trivial symbolism
    while the big problems fly over your head
    My God
    Mon Dieu
    Mein Gott
    What's it to you?
    Lift up the haze and I'll recall fun days
    of tides, wild rides, and uncensored happiness
    We live in the Umbra's sweet caress
    Is it for the best
    or are we bred to jest
    just like our parents told us?
    it's easy to just let the lies hold us
    but we shall persevere
    yes we shall persevere
    Hear me? We shall persevere
    even if the whole world wants us out of here
    we shall persevere
    yes we shall persevere
    Hear me? We shall persevere
    Even when all their words are insincere
    we shall persevere
    yes we shall persevere
    Hear me? We shall persevere
    riddled with pain, we fight through the tears
    all along we were forced to submit
    all alone we are tempted to forget
    Everyone's claimed us, everyone's blamed us
    but we shall persevere
