Take into consideration
Everything that’s come before
As you watch the end of time unfold
No amount of education
Could prepare you for the truth
These are stories no one’s ever told
Everything we’ve ever said
And everything we’ve ever done
Will be an equal weight upon our souls
With everything we’ve never said
And everything we’ve never done
We’ve fooled ourselves…we thought we had control
See the mighty fall beside
The weak and powerless
Wasting every hope we had for growing old
Such a reign of fire
Burning all our sins away
But in the end, the world will be so cold
The world is washed in grey
Differences are stripped away
We’re one in the ashes
One in the ashes
All our fighting was in vain
We are one in the ashes
And in the end we all will lose control
Take into consideration
Everything we’re fighting for
Even though the world’s become so cold
No amount of devastation
Could destroy the bitter truth
Love is something few of us have shown
Everything we’ve never said
And everything we’ve never done
Self-ingested poisons take their toll
Everything we should have said
And everything we should have done
We lost ourselves the day we lost control
See the mighty fall beside
The weak and powerless
Wasting every hope we had for growing old
Such a reign of fire
Burning all our sins away
But in the end, our hearts will be so cold
The world is washed in grey
Differences are stripped away
We’re one in the ashes
One in the ashes
All our fighting was in vain
We are one in the ashes
And in the end we all will lose control
Take into consideration
Everything you’ve lost before
As you watch your peace of mind unfold
Not one word of explanation
Ever will disguise the truth
We’ve become the stories we once told
Everything we’ve ever said
And everything we’ve ever done
Now an equal weight upon our souls
With everything we’ve never said
And everything we’ve never done
We’ve fooled ourselves…we never had control
See the mighty fall beside
The weak and powerless
Wasting every hope we had for growing old
Such a reign of fire
Burning all our sins away
In the end, our hearts have grown so cold
The world is washed in grey
Differences are stripped away
We’re one in the ashes
One in the ashes
All our fighting was in vain
We are one in the ashes
And in the end we all will lose control
Everything that’s come before
As you watch the end of time unfold
No amount of education
Could prepare you for the truth
These are stories no one’s ever told
Everything we’ve ever said
And everything we’ve ever done
Will be an equal weight upon our souls
With everything we’ve never said
And everything we’ve never done

See the mighty fall beside
The weak and powerless
Wasting every hope we had for growing old
Such a reign of fire
Burning all our sins away
But in the end, the world will be so cold
The world is washed in grey
Differences are stripped away
We’re one in the ashes
One in the ashes
All our fighting was in vain
We are one in the ashes
And in the end we all will lose control

A poem that bled into a song, and came to mind once again today after so long for no apparent reason that I can find.
