Fallen Idols
Fallen Idols: Echoes of Faded Dreams and Caustic Revivals
Lyrics
Someone said it years before
Someone previously expressed this sentiment
And today I know it's true
Now, I realize the truth of that statement
Some dreams can't help but die
Some aspirations are inevitably destined to fail
Pinned to those that we looked up to
Attached to those we admired and looked up to
What about our children
Concern for our children's future
And who'll pray for tomorrow's gods
Who will pray for the gods of the future?
And the pain and wisdom gained
Pain and wisdom acquired from years of moral decline
From decades of moral decay
And the fallen idols
Reference to those who have fallen from grace
To me they're still the same
Despite their fall, they remain the same to me
And I pray they rest forever
Wishing for eternal rest for the fallen idols
But the new revival
Mention of a new resurgence
Of the skeletal remains
But it presents a grim and corrosive future
Paints a dark and caustic future
Burned out like a dying sun
Exhausted and depleted like a dying sun
On alcohol and cheap romance
Consumed by alcohol and shallow love
Where the junkies and the suicides
Where those struggling with addiction and despair
Believed inside they had a chance
Believed, albeit wrongly, that they had a chance
We're the kids in the shadows
We are the marginalized youth
Just beyond society's eyes
Lurking just outside society's attention
Restless and pure of heart
Restless and untainted by corruption
They don't understand so they despise
Uncomprehended, leading to disdain
Hey troubadour we're waiting for you
Addressing a troubadour, anticipating redemption through words
Will your words bring redemption for the times?
Questioning if the troubadour's words can redeem troubled times
For all the faded reputations
Reflecting on faded reputations of poets and sinners
The poets, the sinner and their crimes
Their actions and transgressions
