Gather round inspired avengers
Let us mold and entertain
Tales of righteousness and the guidance of salvation
Fables of the beasts we've slain

For the foes we've devastated
For the families left for dead
For the hypocrites and their wide eyed aberrations
And the virtuous days ahead

The dust on the shades masks the blood, though it fades, there's no thinning
Once so beautiful, now so meaningless
Mutual plights, methodologies, passions, beginnings
They can't see, in all they do,
That they're just like you.

So here's to lies my brothers sold me
Here's to truths I should have known
To woeful thoughts and memories, regretful lamentations, kneel before our consequences, pray
For the seeds we could have sown

The dust on the shades masks the blood, though it fades, there's no thinning
Once so beautiful, now so meaningless
One spawning dread, one breeds fear, no one sees no one's winning
But believe, in all I do, that
I'm just like you

Where the line cuts through the chaos
Where it fractures, this is your loss
Transparent polar filters, a split down the screen
We can highlight just how kindred we seem

The dust on the shades masks the blood, though it fades, there's no thinning
Once so beautiful, now so meaningless
Reflections of greed - mirrors, not meditations - misgivings
This is real, and for all you knew,
He was just like you!
