it's a long way up, a short way down
keeps your lips shut, you'll never be the one to drown

pawns placed on the front line
masterpiece and destruction
hidden well behind construction
innocents slaved for grand design
dreams embodied meticulously
hides behind his sightless army

sparing no drop to save what you should
you have oceans vast, and scapegoats of wood

watch his changing light, theirs stays true
they'll take everything and move on without you
inserting himself into all they create
it will haunt him when all is taken
the core was never his alone
it belonged to those who breath love, who love more
drifting empires burn so clear
yet fires consume only the insincere
sparing no drop to save what you should
you have oceans vast, and scapegoats of wood

intentions de-masked
