Obscuritas Poem by Alex Lane

Everything that you made
is falling right back down
everyone that you have known
is jumping ship right now
sure that you are doomed
for fighting the power
no one there to comfort you
in your darkest hour

(Solus amor, solus amor)

They may cut down all your grace
and lock down the freedom
they can never take your soul
but they have a kingdom
that will dismantle all it can
and destroy all the thinkers
anyone outside the box
is subject to fingers
being blamed for the hate
and evil in the world
ejected by the system
to corners are hurled

(Solus amor, solus amor, salve lacrima tuum)

No one gets out alive
the system stole your will to survive
outside of the systems control
that's how they attain your soul
the revolution we are waiting for
because we believe the law
will do justice for us
but the old way is ash and dust
It's up to you
what will you do?

Everything that you have seen
is burning to the ground
everyone you have ever fought
is coming into town
no time for thieves and fools
and smoking is banned
they chase you from the city
and then out of the land

(Solus amor, solus amor)

The times are changing round here
people are losing heart
and forgetting their dreams
they are falling apart
this nation is suffering
from a melancholy that we don't register
and we forget to be free
we prefer hiding away
averting our dead eyes
I can't stand it anymore
all those whispered cries

(Solus amor, solus amor, salve lacrime tuum. Via obscuritas, lucis ex cor meum, lux ex cor meum.)

No one gets out alive
the system stole your will to survive
outside of the systems control
that's how they attain your soul
this revolution we are waiting for
will never come
because we believe the law
will do justice for us
but it never does
it's up to you
what will you do?

Ode to a failing plan
the truest end of man
the truest end of me
a hidden mastery
I witness the darkness
within the policies
You and I see the lies
house of cards reaches high
it's gotta fall one day
I don't intend to stay
and observe the world's hurt
wash the system away
just as we predicted
violence addicted
will stalk the streets in hate
the last fury so great
marks the end
of all life friend
a sad and bloody fate

Only love, only love
save your tears
by the way of darkness
fire out of my eyes
light out of my heart.
