Euphorica

Below the castle lies
A graveyard built on
A thousand years of lies
Blood that bathed the ground
Hateful, inhuman screams abound
Forgotten, abandoned by their own race
How will we speak of the atrocities
Performed by our own hands
In the name of science and progress
We thought
We had created a better world
We’re wrong
All that is left is blood on our hands
And now that atonement has come
Will you sacrifice?
The freedom to live our own lives
That which we cannot forsake
And now that your clemency arrives
Will you remain the same
With every day lost
The memories begin to fade
Unspoken, a scar in our conscience
The loss of our humanity
The freedom to live our own lives
That which we cannot forsake
And now that your clemency arrives
Will we repeat the same mistakes
