Yesterday's Forgotten

I wrote this while listening to Avenged Sevenfold's "Critical Acclaim". Now I know this song is about politics....It was hard to actually write without listening to the lyrics. But it was fun. This is a great song, just fyi. Great album too.


Shadows fall across an aubern sky,
A cold world; rediscovered
Senses sharpen, darkness falls
And panic chokes the unwilling.

Knowledge of nothing,
The world's ignorance surfaces.
Screams of hollow fear
And it grows dimmer still.

The mistakes of many now apparant
Once swept away, now exposed.
They cackle a hideous tune
And we are all lost to our corruptions.

The horrific sky, a dark bloody wound
Our eyes cleansed of the former blue skied mirage
Dimming, flickering figures overtake
And a world is lost to yesterday.
