Empty Handed

lyrics

Behind closed doors, they do not know what lurks...
A cataclysm of events leading to a singular point on the timeline
An explosion of emotion imminent in their binding
Disaster and euphoria dropped chaotically like clockwork
We are one side of a rigged coin
We are one face of a loaded die
We are one card in a stacked deck
And we are taking our chances

Never again will they say we are just empty shells
Cast us into fear of God, fear of Life, fear of Hell
Never again will they say we are nothing more than clones
Mindless masses working, our purpose to serve as drones
Never again will they say we are only empty inside
Giving us no true hope, solace, or source in which to confide
Never again will they strip us of our goals, our hopes and plans
We wield whatever tools necessary within our empty hands

It is not a battle-plan or mission statement, don't be mistaken
The key to our unwinding is nothing more than a realization
And if you're brave enough to undergo it, I ask you open up your minds
To secrets, obvious and honest, too easy not to find

I am empty handed, charging head first into the unknown
All my previous weapons have been outgrown
I keep knowledge as power and an outlook realistic
Break problems down into pieces that are much more simplistic
This time we're going ballistic, the truth can not hide
Raging infernos never willfully choose to subside
So by force of death you cannot deter my velocity
It was curiosity that bred this monstrosity
The world's a big place in which to make a permanent mark
So I started off small and tried to ignite with a spark
Now the fire is hungry, and I'm trying my hardest
Not every flame consumes the world; not everyone can be an artist
And I like it like that, value not cheapened with blaze
All the lights consuming land is Hell to be raised
Impossible odds doesn't mean I didn't understand it
I just feel that this is right for me; even if I am empty handed
