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!
