Dedication To A Dead Cause

Under the strain the cracks start to show
 Still can't tell when it falls, which was it will go
 How can an empire, for aeons stand
 With it's foundations built upon the sand?

 thousand questions, but never an answer
 After a lifetime spent, I can't tell what's been gained
 Where am I going? What am I fighting for?...
 ...Still this undying dedication to a dead cause

 The lasting shreds of belief barely hold me together
 As I stand on the edge staring out at the dark of forever
 No way to tell which way is wrong or right
 I'm blind in the darkness, and I'm blind in the light

 victim of my own uncertainty
 Bound by parameters of my morality
 I knowingly leading myself where no one can follow?
 Deeper into this hole, there's no way out

 thousand questions, but never an answer
 After a lifetime spent, I can't tell what's been gained
 Where am I going? What am I fighting for?...
 ...Still this undying dedication to a dead cause
