Through the shattered glass
He turns away
Humanity's cries
Muffled in this cowards mind
Detached from the affray
So far away
Cushioned in his affluent ways!
-verse 2-
Bound to the egg
From which he's hatched
Fractured shell,
Poised to smash before the swarm!
Guilded spoon
From which he feeds
The Starving masses, he ignores.
Chorus
Through your eyes you peer
What do you see
Are you a muted witness?
Eyes glare at the obscene
But refuse to see
Are you that muted witness now?
-verse 3-
Shadowing the flock
His eyes are glued
Branded irons on his weathered hide
Can't he speak?
The apostate's dirge,
A Devotee to himself
-verse 4-
Vermin and lame
A futile mouse,
Look! How his lips are fucking numb!
Depriving others
A chance to soar
Ripping the wings away from the moth!
Chorus
Through your eyes you peer
What do you see
Are you a muted witness?
Eyes glare at the obscene
But refuse to see
Are you that muted witness now?
Chorus
Through your eyes you peer
What do you see
Are you a muted witness?
Eyes glare at the obscene
But refuse to see
Are you that muted witness now?
Muted witness
Are you a muted witness?
Am I a muted witness?
Are we a muted witness?
Biased bassist opinion: The bass guitar driven sound of this massive power metal masterpiece made me want to grab MY bass and learn every song in a way that hasn't happened to me since the first time I heard Iron Maiden - Powerslave! These aural annihilation anthems are filled with expert musicianship and exquisite lyrics belted by one of the best voices metal has to offer! Do not pass this one up! annimax_metal
