Our Wasted Days
Unveiling Deceit: Nocturnal Rites Exposes Humanity's Mask in 'Our Wasted Days'
Lyrics
Man is but a liar
Man is fundamentally dishonest
A coward and a thief
Describes humanity as both fearful and deceitful
The things that we aspire
Our ambitions and desires
And hide behind belief
We use belief systems as a shield to hide our true selves
We claim it's for the maker
Claiming actions are for a higher purpose
And do his righteous deeds
Performing supposedly righteous deeds for the creator
It's time for all us fakers
The time has come for those pretending to be virtuous to admit their greed
To solely name it greed
Exposing the true motive behind actions as greed
We all know it's someone
Acknowledging an external force influencing our lives
That pulls our weight
Recognizing a force that determines our destiny
One fate, the final hour
Referring to an inevitable, final moment in life
Brave new world, depraved new ways
Describing a world with new, corrupted ways
While the piper plays on through our wasted days
Life passes wastefully while distractions persist
Brave new world, still unheard
A world with unacknowledged issues
Crying out for more, I am god
Expressing a desire for more
Welcome age of reason
Welcoming an era of logical thinking
Teach us to conform
Being taught to conform to societal expectations
Wise men call it treason
Wise individuals view non-conformity as treason
Straying from the norm
Straying from societal norms is considered treasonous
So buy that costly promise
Investing in an expensive commitment or promise
Shove it down your throat
Forcing acceptance of the commitment
Choke up on their slander
Enduring false accusations and insults
Buy that precious vote
Purchasing support through voting
As the clock keeps turning
Time passing relentlessly
We know it's over now
Acknowledging the end of a situation or era
The walls are closing in
A sense of confinement or impending doom
