Apathy

Blood on fire,
Choose your sin.
Acid rain,
Betray your twin.
Universal hatred now,
Murder for the ultimate power.

Where's the love we used to see,
When all I see is the blind man bleed?
Lying on the street in pain,
Walk away and know no shame.

Do you feel the atmosphere,
Bitter, growing cold?
Extinction for the knowing grace,
The greatest conflict of your soul.

Playing games of truth or dare,
Watch the sparrow fly.
Round and round, the sky comes down,
Now set the dial on live or die.

Will the consciousness of man,
Sit back and start to fade?
Will we realize the price,
Of threats and vows we've made?

Is the end sometime near,
Or will we even know?
There's nowhere left to run or hide,
Sit back and watch it blow.
