Cathode

Shades Apart

who raised the stakes

in the foolish game we play

a cathode ray

who designed the circuitry

we washed away

a thousand ancient mysteries

and still confused inside

not enough we want the world today

rise up we won't just go away

you made mistakes

we drink the aftertaste

your path erased

a thousand ancient memories

we stand in line

still waiting for a sign

we burn as one inside

stand up and face

the children you disgraced

the mirror breaks

we defy the symmetry

we're not the same

we have our own identity

we burn as one inside
