Once the world was a place of peace
Once the world was just beauty and truth
Now we stand before the precipice, the void
Before us chaos, anarchy our hope destroyed

So many changes, its hard to believe
Many suffer the consequences
Alarm on the faces all living with fear
Screams the question "How did we get here?"

The skies burn with purple flame
Men - Women run and tremble
Watch the world collapse around them
A thousand screams, the blood unstemmed.

Nothing to be done but watch in disgust
It was us, It was us who asked for this
How can we live in a world so unjust
In the end, no where to turn, no one to trust

It was we who brought the Angels wrath
Those Silver men and their terrible machines
We crossed every line took every chance
Made the inferno descend and the fires dance.

Once again we are forced to action
Now unsure of what can be done
Wishing back to pasts false securities
Searching hard for those righteous clarities

Yet still we raise ourselves, but falteringly
Jarred into action by a world of destruction
So we raise our hand and cast the dice
Can we stem our fall a swansong of Fire and Ice

Can we bring it together again?
Repair that centuries in the destruction?
Lying in wait for the truth to descend
A new beginning or the bitter end

We turn to face our last sunset
Our final desperate third act
O'er land air and sea we take travel
And with us the future past unravels

I aint as good as I once was but I'm as good, once, as I ever was. - Toby Keith

Way to go you two! I think you voiced well a fear many of us ar neither willing nor ready to face. A graceful yet somber dance you did!
