Burnt out Candles

We can't escape judgement. Humanity must set aside war and its tools.

Darkness wrapped life under camera lights
Makeup applied reasons and the kiss of lies
Tickets and trinkets, I convey a picture
Heartless rhythms within endless rhymes
We are all on display for all time

Mirrors all encased in the dark of night
The wheel of time cares little for light
Toss and turn in your beds at night
To and fro to God's perpetual delight
Love and hate on display for all time

If we use love, life we create
If we use hate, death we create
Choose... (Choose)

We are all puppets in a play
Wearing our actions within a perpetual fight
Humanity has been warned time after time
Will we learn to reason and thrive?
We are all on trial for all time

If we use death, extinctions our end
If we use life, reason must win
Choose... (Choose)

(Back to the top for another run through)

Burnt out dreams, we die to live
What's the reason for all the hate?

Burnt out candles, and a bloody mess...
