lyrics

White light enters a prism
From armor it is cast,
Though what comes out
Is anything but white.
Red light in the form of blood
And gore pour from it.
A horror to behold once more,
Blinded by confusion
In this otherwise shadow world.
Orange light from a wound,
Pours down from ceiling holes,
To quench the thirst

Of the dead - below it.
Dissecting - parts reveals
The yellow light - that comes after.

Bile and puss - make up
What comes out. - a fountain of
Infection to bring - about the cleansing end.

The next light revealed
From the mouth is a green one,
It’s shade is reminiscent
Of the infection of light past.
Further through the prism we are
At the point of no escape.
The sun is surely behind us
As we view the blue rain in the distance.
This light will bring water
Dripping from tiles,
And blood coursing
Through veins.

At the dawn - of the indigo
Morning we - are brought to
Violet - tears weeping.

The end of the light
Has come and gone
And for now all is still.
Our feet carry us down
This path to whatever
Waits for us,
No matter the outcome.
We are slaves by design
And the lights keep us moving.
Ever toward the
Illumination of the colors
That once filled us.
