Unto the Breach
Echoes of Paradox: Unto the Breach
Lyrics
I've seen the face of evil
I have witnessed the presence of evil.
But you look the other way
You choose to ignore or overlook the evil.
Good faith is a dagger in your back
Good faith is betrayed, becoming a source of harm.
Don't trust the vows of desperate men
Caution against trusting promises made by desperate individuals.
Now here I stand
At this moment, I find myself facing a contradiction or puzzle.
In the presence of paradox
A symbol of deceit on a symbol of peace.
A serpent on an olive branch
The aftermath of conflicting forces.
What remains
What is left or continues to exist?
When anomaly and prejudice collide
When unusual occurrences and preconceived notions clash.
These ambitions
Ambitions that may lead us to the edge.
Could take us to the brink
These aspirations could bring us to a critical point.
This future
This future is not distant; it's imminent.
Is closer than you think
The impending future is closer than anticipated.
Where is this promised paradise
Where is the promised utopia?
To us, yet undiscovered
It remains undiscovered for us.
Or never there at all
Or perhaps, it never existed.
I've seen the face of progress
I have observed the face of progress.
And then I watched it fade away
Yet, it vanished or diminished over time.
I've done my bid for king and country
I served my duty for the nation, but I am rewarded with chains.
And I'm repaid with chains
An expression of dissatisfaction with the consequences.
What more can I offer
What more can I give or sacrifice?
Who else can turn on me
Who else may betray or oppose me?
Now as we stand
Now, as we face a catastrophic event.
On the edge of apocalypse
We are at the brink of a major disaster.
The innocence of marionettes
The purity and innocence of controlled individuals.
What remains
What remains is a question of our moral fiber.
Is a question of our character
An unanswered question about our collective character.
That none among us here can answer
No one among us can provide an answer.
These ambitions
Similar aspirations that may lead us to a critical point.
Could take us to the brink
These ambitions have the potential to lead us to the edge.
This future
Again, the impending future is closer than we realize.
Is closer than you think
This future is imminent.
Where is this promised paradise
Where is the promised utopia for us?
To us, yet undiscovered
It remains undiscovered or may not exist at all.
Or never there at all
Or perhaps, it was never a reality.
If a brave new world awaits us
If a promising new world is ahead, I will be the last to embrace it.
I'll be the last to go
Expressing a reluctance to embrace a potentially positive change.
But I'll endure if the journey takes us
However, I will endure if the journey takes us there once more.
Once more
Commitment to endure despite reservations if the journey repeats.
Unto the breach
A reference to facing challenges or difficulties.
