What we want gets pulled so strategically out of reach
And we’re able to see through the glass of desire
While melodious voices of the gods falsely preach
And laugh without remorse, as we are eaten slowly by burning fire
Our hands can touch the smooth, cool plane
Yet can’t grasp, nor pass through
Everything we need, but nothing we can gain
They still laugh as our desperate attempts grow few
All watching with glee from high above
When we cry out desperately for a reprieve
They turn away, their feelings for us hold no love
And they are absorb all the attention they receive
Controlling our hearts with a simple thread
Laughing at us as we weep
They will use us until our hearts are dead
And at their will we leap
Even when our tears, which we hold dear, fall
We once again lose
As we release all anger and hit the wall
Only our hearts further bruise
Vacant eyed and without thought
This is what they take pleasure in
And at least in the end we can say we fought
Even if the greater powers always win
And we’re able to see through the glass of desire
While melodious voices of the gods falsely preach
And laugh without remorse, as we are eaten slowly by burning fire
Our hands can touch the smooth, cool plane
