Olÿphant - Slave

On the horizon there is a light that shines
A haunted people just stand and stare, gathered in the darkness in despair
Their earthly treasure’s a shattered dream
Arise and watch the clock tick
A growing terror, a nagging fear, hatred for the ones who put them here

(Chorus)
You could be free from pain, but you remain a slave
And you could just break these chains, but you remain a captive to a system that failed

This is the wasteland where hollow men will live
Beneath the dark and painted skies, believing in the false and twisted lies

(Chorus)

Can you see them crawling in the maze
Can you hear them crying to be saved
Night calls, day falls, stumbling in the fray
Limbs snap, bones crack, man becomes the prey
Endless nightmare, the bell begins to toll
Death comes swiftly, starving for your soul
War’s rage, fires blaze, blackening the earth
All die—Mankind crying for rebirth
