SHIFT YOUR PARADIGM

 

YEARS IN THE FUTURE THIS MAY SERVE AS A REMINDER
LIKE A VERBAL TIME CAPSULE AUDIO TREASURE
MEANT FOR THE MINDS THAT DENIED IN THE PAST 
IGNORING THE SIGNS EVERY TIME THAT WE ASKED 
YOU TO LISTEN YOU DISMISSED US CONSISTENTLY 
AND NOW YOUR LIVIN OUT PROPHECY
FIRST HAND WITNESS TO THE TIMES AND THE MISERYS 
NO DENYING ALL THE SIGNS AND CONSPIRACIES
WE POURED OUT OUR HEARTS AND URGED YOU TO LISTEN
IMPLORED YOU TO THINK TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION 
LAUGHING INSIDE YOU JUST PLAYED THE DEVILS ADVOCATE
EVERY TIME YOU HEARD THE TRUTH YOU TURNED THE OPPOSITE
REJECTED ANYTHING THAT STOOD AGAINST YOUR POLITICS
CONVINCED YOURSELF THAT YOU WERE GOOD BY THINKING POSITIVE
ALWAYS WERE THE OPTIMIST ARE YOU STILL CONFIDENT
THAT IGNORANCE IS BLISS DURING THE APOCALYPSE?

 

SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORY LINE
SLAP IN YOUR FACE SHIFT IN YOUR PARADIGM
SEARCHING YOUR MIND FOR THE MEMORIES YOU BLOCKED OUT 
INFORMATION THAT YOU KNEW WAS TRUE BUT LOCKED OUT
CONVERSATIONS THAT YOU WISH COULD BE REPEATED
WARNING CALLS THAT YOU WISH YOU WOULD A HEEDED
THOUGHT ALL THOSE CHRISTIANS WERE LIVING IN DENIAL 
BUT NOW YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING TO UNDERSTAND BIBLE

 

EVERY DAY TRIGGERS OLD MEMORIES AND REMINDERS
REMAINING REMNANTS REMEMBERED BY SURVIVORS
PIECED TOGETHER FROM THE FRAGMENTS OF A QUAGMIRE
LOST SOULS GATHERED HUNGRY ROUND A CAMPFIRE
BROUGHT TOGETHER THROUGH THEIR COMMON RECOLLECTIONS
TORN APART BY THE WARNINGS THAT THEY QUESTIONED
LOOKING BACK THEY KNEW THIS DAY WAS UNAVOIDABLE
THEY HATED GOD EMBRACING SIN WHENEVER POSSIBLE 
GAVE CONTROL TO EVERYTHING THEY KNEW WAS EVIL
SOLD THEIR SOULS SO NOW THEIR LIVING LIKE MEDIEVAL
A WHOLE WORLD WITHOUT LAWS OR MORALITY
LIVING IN POVERTY AND RUNNING FROM REALITY
A TATTERED PICTURE OF MISSED OPPORTUNITIES 
ALL THE WHAT IFS AND LOST POSSIBILITIES 
CITIES BURN LIKE A GIANT CREMATORIUM
MOUNTAIN TOPS COLLAPSE LIKE AN ACCORDION
WARS ARE RUMBLING GOVERNMENTS CRUMBLING
STORM CLOUDS GATHERING ROUND HEAR THE THUNDERING?
