|
|
A Brief Moment of Clarity Broke Through the Deafening Hum, but It Was Too Late.
|
|
|
A Hail Of Bombs
|
|
|
Alone and Unaware, the Landscape Was Transformed in Front of Our Eyes.
|
|
|
A Message of Avarice Rained Down Upon Us and Carried Us Away Into False Dreams of Endless Riches.
|
|
|
A Mutiny
|
|
|
And By Our Own Hand Did Every Last Bird Lie Silent
|
|
|
"Annihilate the Sparrow, That Stealer of Seed, and Our Harvests Will Abound; We Will Watch Our Wealth Flood In."
|
|
|
As Each End Looms And Subsides
|
|
|
A Swarm
|
|
|
Buildings Began to Stretch Wide Across the Sky, and the Air Filled With a Reddish Glow.
|
|
|
Finally, As That Blazing Sun Shone Down Upon Us, Did We Know That True Enemy Was The Voice Of Blind Idolatry; And Only Then Did We Begin To Think For Ourselves.
|
|
|
Giving Birth To Imagined Saviors
|
|
|
In Every Mind
|
|
|
In Illusions Of Order
|
|
|
Like the Howling Glory of the Darkest Winds, This Voice Was Thunderous and the Words Holy, Tangling Their Way Around Our Hearts and Clutching Our Innocent Awe.
|
|
|
Mechanical Sounds Cascaded Through the City Walls and Everyone Reveled in Their Ignorance.
|
|
|
Millions Starved And We Became Skinnier And Skinnier, While Our Leaders Became Fatter And Fatter.
|
|
|
Our Happiest Days Slowly Began to Turn Into Dust.
|
|
|
The Great Leap Forward Poured Down Upon Us One Day Like a Mighty Storm, Suddenly and Furiously Blinding Our Senses.
|
|
|
The Sixth Extinction Crept Up Slowly, Like Sunlight Through the Shutters, as We Looked Back in Regret...
|
|
|
The Soundless Dawn Came Alive as Cities Began to Mark the Horizon.
|
|
|
Truths Arise
|
|
|
We Stood Transfixed In Blank Devotion As Our Leader Spoke To Us, Looking Down On Our Mute Faces With A Great, Raging, And Unseeing Eye.
