The Clouding

I Walk Among You (Single) - 2008

As I awake I have no memory of this
 Who I am, where I'm from, why do I exist?
 This strange beauty surrounds me
 But where I am confounds me
 I see others who appear the same as me
 look of loss in their eyes, adrift aimlessly
 What's the point? What does it all mean?
 Who am I? Show me a purpose please

 Take this sense of wonder
 Make it go away
 Please tell me I am not alone and lost here
 That there is something that's made me feel this way
 Take this sense of sadness
 Make it go away
 Please give me something that's familiar
 friendly touch, a memorable embrace

 I try to speak but empty eyes stare back at me
 Twisted tongues segregate, factions are forming
 I'll stay with those that resemble me
 To survive this harsh reality
 As the days pass most have gone their own way
 Nomadic tribes discover life
 On a world that seems so strange
 But still I want answers
 What's the point? What does all this mean?

 Take this sense of wonder
 Make it go away
 Please tell me I am not alone and lost here
 That there is something that's made me feel this way
 Take this sense of sadness
 Make it go away
 Please give me something that's familiar
 friendly touch, a memorable embrace

 Lies, the human core is lies
 We wiped their minds, cleaned the slate
 The Clouding did divide
 Fate, we sealed human fate
 Now they're ours throughout all time
 To manipulate

 Never [bad word] in the motives of man
 They failed to evolve in Mother Nature's plan
 And though they seem safe
 In this early clouded state
 The nature of their heresy
 Has proven quite innate

 Pain, mankind will know pain
 For their crimes on our kind
 They'll never be the same
 Death, they will know death
 Suffering for centuries
 At war with every breath

 Never [bad word] in the motives of man
 They failed to evolve in Mother Nature's plan
 And though they seem safe
 In this early clouded state
 The nature of their heresy
 Has proven quite innate
