lyrics

We saw it happen.
We watched it through the glares in each other’s eyes.
Glares so blinding no cries were heard, no words were said, and no breaths were taken.
This moment burned itself into a generation of memories, and a lifetime of sleepless nights.
Within this moment, an entire nation divided itself, and in unison, and entire nation was brought to it’s knees.
After the scorched sky settled into a permanent dusk, a blanket of ash cloaked the landscape with the irony of a silent, falling snow.
The city became a maze of ruins, and a refuge for the lost.
The countryside was bled dry, and is now a barren battlefield.
Food and water become scarce, and a re rationed among the common while the elite reign over their creation.
Fear is instilled, and a police state commissioned.
Many have been lost, and more will be lost at the threat of the ensuing war.
This was all her doing, her plan, her masterpiece.
Her words weigh heavy on the hearts of her loyal, and haunt the dreams of her enemies.
Veronica…our beacon of hope, our legacy of victory, the once-beating heart of our nation.
A heart that has now turned on its host.
Veronica Angelica…the name of betrayal, the tears of our mothers, the cries of our nation, the scent of a mass burial…all sealed with a kiss.
A wave of sorrow drowns our pride, and washes away our history.
This is our darkest hour.
This is the end of freedom.
And these are the last days of Empire
