Intro
Where we stand lies in our decisions;
In our mistakes
Eyes sealed shut,
As the sands sink further
We can’t run forever;
There’s nowhere to hide
Verse #1
Which road is the way?
Our flaws are the mark of our decay
The stars have allined,
And what we’ve held for peace, is what’s left behind
Pre chorus
Everything we’ve come to know,
Is slipping through the cracks;
We must pave the way
Chorus
We stand aside, our conscience lost;
Crawl from this shell, we must move on
We share our fate, one death for all,
We bend and we break, such dilatory minds will bring the fall
(We will bring the fall)
Verse #2
Perceive the weeds,
That grow around our feet
Beware this intersection,
Where fear and guilt meet
Pre chorus
Bless the dawn of the new day,
The day that may not come;
We must fight for rebirth
Chorus
We stand aside, our conscience lost
Crawl from this shell, we must move on
We share our fate, one death for all
We bend and we break, such dilatory minds will bring the fall
Bridge
Are we bending just to break?
Are we standing just to fall?
Is everything you’ve come to love,
Everything you’ve come to be,
Worth fighting for?
Decide while the choice is still yours.
Wearing at the edges, eaten at the core,
We must rise to the surface, and wash upon the shore
Don’t put off our extinction, time is not at hand,
Don’t be left to grieve, when the glass runs out of sand
We are left with nothing; nothing to lose
Chorus
We stand aside, our conscience lost
Crawl from this shell, we must move on
We share our fate, one death for all
We bend and we break, such dilatory minds will bring the fall
We are the fall (x2)

You write alot of songs and I loved this one, the topic is rare for songs and I liked the words you used and how you arranged the choruses.
Good job!
