Lost

Days of old have whispered goodbye 
An echo, of things used to be 
Judged for the choices we've made 
In the courts of history 

Tested by time, we've came up short 
In the balances of right and wrong 
Life out of order, twisted, deformed 
Distant of where we belong 

Driven by fame, blinded by greed 
The path less traveled we've lost 
Choosing to wander aimlessly 
Without ever counting the cost 

Void of emotion, we seek satisfaction 
Leaving our conscience behind 
Cursed by our wrong decisions 
We search with a reprobate mind 

We've lost our direction with no sure path 
Like the darkness envelopes the night 
We follow our leaders without asking why 
Like the blind betrayed by his sight 

Our children inherit the mistakes we've made 
They're destined to repeat our past 
We're heading for sudden destruction 
How much longer can it really last?
