Misericord – When The Bough Breaks lyrics

The future's indifferent
Inescapable and out of control
An imprisoned dead shell going nowhere
Our chained elusive truth overwhelming
That we might drown in wisdom.
Or sink in happiness.

To fear such harmless confusion
so weak in self-doubt.
Bound and gagged in frustration
Our soon to be exposed eyes
From this blindfold of humanity throughout

Going through the motions sublime
Are we to understand,
how empty this future sounds
For such uncertainty sells out our need
To make up for lost time
Fracturing pillars of self worth
A short cut to misery.

Transcend, desert this onslaught and hide
Another wronged victim
Weak and helpless inside
Hunger without giving up
"Bornless are we" in aethyrs of consequence.

Mankind a lost child,
In living faith, in death believed
Humanity in dust and gravel laid
Mankind a lost child.
