Our Gracious Captors Lyrics


As day bleeds into night

The abject horologe

Hands upon the cooling glass

Born of a lost cause

From the never-ending

Mirrormaze confined

Every downward step

Reveals a grand design

Our gracious captors

Adverse benefactors

Histories of failed escapes

Traced in every fracture

At every turn

Another useless

Map to be burned

Our gracious captors

Adverse benefactors

A storm of shards

The mirror shatters

Lost inside a twisted game

In service of our masters

Architects of pain

Hour by hour

Inimical force

We feel the sting

But know not the source

There is no escape

Nowhere to hide

A cruel simulation of being alive

There is no escape

Nowhere to hide

Reliving this cycle night after night

And now we stand

And count the cost

Pawns in a game, forever lost
