Perfect World

We waited for this many years
Since the dawning of our time
The conclusion of our agony
Has finally arrived
The end of our misery is near
The traces of oppression
Are about to disappear

Our endeavour for a perfect world
Before long will culminate
In a state of divine apathy,
Free of anger, free of hate
The end of our suffering is near
The scars from our battles
Our remaining time will heal

Has the space between the lines
Become too small for you to read
Have the wounds left in your mind
Become too old for them to bleed
Has the pain you feel inside
Become too vague for you to cry
Are the days not black enough
For you to grope for the light

The truth of yesterday
Has just become a lie
The things that you believed in,
Once important, now denied
Banished from your memories,
Buried in the past
The essence that remains
Is that nothing ever lasts

Did you ever wonder where has gone
The diversity of life
Domination of conformity
Common sense now is a crime
Submission as salvation for us all
Shuttered in your gilded cage
Gradually your mind corrodes
