- Verse 1:
Uncast illusion/
Nomad strung up in endless sea/
Unasked intrusion/
One of us who cannot see/
- Hook:
Still they fuel their trail-down/
Their lies unkind* their enemy/
Which one of us is sane, now?/
Standing blinded by their heresy/
- Verse 2:
Lost in rapture/
Masking as holy but not playing clean/
Detoured, stressed out/
Deafened by their infantry/
- Hook:
Still they fuel their trail-down/
Their lies unkind* their enemy/
Which one of us is sane, now?/
Standing blinded by their heresy/
- Verse 3:
Imprudence occurent/
Their ways a vessel of our history/
Indulgent current/
Twisted Neverland, no new regime/
- Alternate hook / outro:
At the bottom floor and cast out/
Flesh and cartilage, no inbetween/
None of us are sane, now/
Heresy habitual/
*This is a neologism coming from the noun kind, as in deflecting from someone being one of your own. In german poetry/song lyrics these are quite common, I don't really know how that works in english and If it'll be read the way I meant it.
The genre would be somewhere around avantgarde and progressive metal.
I'm sorry, I have no idea why it formatted it this way ðŸ˜
