The New World

Hearts dripping deadly little lies Even the heroes did not survive The sins that trickled from the web The dust of our worth now all that’s left A reference to the shallow depths Sneaking through as the cities slept Riddles and chaos flirt unseen Our earth now sinking into this dream Despair for all that now remains A glowing abyss we cannot name The darkness closer every day The heroes that rise are lead astray Newborn rejoice for all they’ve known Going so far as to call it home They dance upon the graves of truth As coldness lays claws upon our youth The spirit brazen to have survived The nightmare now shaking some to life These twice-born children wake alone This world of monsters is not their home
