The Descent

By alesana

In lonely lands we suffer
From mountaintops we fall.
If we cannot see the beauty,
We shall destroy it all.

From freedom once abounding,
Emerged our lowly state.
Far away we dream of running,
But we are trapped behind.

The songs were once resounding –
Now broken spirits fall – weak –
Like spinning pinwheel leaves,
To Hell we now descend.
