Apparition

The race for the backward
Power in the wrong few
The fumes from the world war
The clouds in the room

Systematic hunger
Emblem of a brighter youth
Overwhelming numbers
Killing without proof

A prediction, a prediction
A sensation, a sensation
An Apparition, apparition of a predatory few

Voice of innovation
To halt unrelenting doom
Impossible situation
Impossible room

We fought off sedation
The lure of dystopian ruse
They pushed our imagination
There was nothing to lose

A prediction, a prediction
A sensation, a sensation
An Apparition, apparition of a predatory few

A planet with a blackened heart
A condition of a passive nature
Sedition only went so far
Patient with a falling root

System with a crooked start
A future lacking any patience
Afraid of what you really are
But does anybody choose

Can't ask us to settle now
Afraid of what we're made of
Afraid of what we are
Afraid of what we'll lose

Don't ask us to settle now
I'm afraid of where we're going
I'm afraid of what will be
Afraid of what we'll lose

A prediction, a prediction
A sensation, a sensation
An Apparition, apparition of a predatory few
