Knowledge
A tired retreat into the dust
The light has scorched the heart of our trust
Burning goals; more frozen reprise
A spinning web that poisons our minds
Identify the battles within
They come to life and no-one can win
Existing on in reality’s pain
To be shown an end is to die once again
Ceaselessly lost and aware
The circle brings us back to despair
Cold alone, but we’re too cold to leave
How can we love when we are deceived?
A warning shot from the barrel of truth
Stay away before you are used
The greatest shield is distance and time
As is the sword; as is our design
All for a world that can’t seem to see
We spin alone and then disagree
The circle grows because we’re too close
Knowledge kills, but how could we know?
