Wages of the Truth

Trapped inside a solid mental cage
Blinded by what is a foolish rage
As we scream and shake our fists
We will fade soon from existence
Our voices raised in bitter defiance
Distrusting both religion and science
We are prone to give in to despair
As we live here in the devil's lair
Words become lost in the empty din
Hope ignored by a darkness within
We listen but fail to hear
As the darkness draws near
Life produces desperate sounds
As all of our fears are captured
The force of  gravity pulls down
All of our questions are answered
As we become cast away from the truth
Then we realize there is no proof
We've been condemned for thoughts
In a world that madness wrought
We've been imprisoned by our own hand
In misery, selfishness and chance
