odd times ahead, when we look into the haze
we see the things we force ourselves to believe
in the emptiness of every day existence
this time, we'll decide to blot out the sun
this time we'll survive with the damage done
blessings and curses in our rituals
we will throw our enemies to the wolves
odd times are now, when we look out
into the forever
we see empty words and meanings
all the empty platitudes we use to justify
burning our souls, one inch at a time
we can see, we can see what we choose to believe
the emptiness in the light
the truth that we find, in the smoke
every time
there's odd times ahead
there's odd times ahead
and they'll roll
