The Human Abstract Nocturne Lyrics

Hollow self indulgence leading the way
In the wake of intent that day
At the faultline,
At the faultline we were
Searching for answers

Filthy crimes, power play
Grasping for our lessons overthrown
Lessons overthrown

What you've gone and done now

It's hard to get over
Events of the past have carried
A lasting grudge toward a pure heart
I'm calling out
A false hero

Lay your plans,
I'll play Rome, false martyr, take a stand
Lay your plans...
With broken heart, I've finally become a man

Past the sights and the sound
Cloak and dagger are found
No wonder here,
Just an echo resounding

Hardship owns all that remains
Red queen, a fallen knight on the way that day
At the faultline we were
Searching for answers

Filthy crimes, power play
Grasping for our lessons overthrown
Lessons overthrown

Caught in the act,
Right in our midst,
A snake in the grass,
As night fell on my soul
Caught in the act,
Right in our midst,
A snake in the grass,
No honor
