Avalanche - Set Before Us

Impressions shape and mold, they teach you right and wrong

The ones close are the ones that leave a mark

We carry a blindfold from a young age, blind from birth we stumble into the dark

We are a disease that has brought us to our knees

We are an avalanche that has left us buried beneath our own weight

Now everywhere I look, war, greed, pain and scars

The blindfolds off I try to be my own man

But the weight of the world pulls me down

I try to live my own life, but the weight of the world pulls me down

Fingers pointed in every direction, who is to blame?

We’re all the culprits and we’re all the victims

A generation born in darkness, going in circles with no direction

Masters of our own world, where the blind leads the blind

In which we are the cure and cause, the key and lock

The blindfolds off

The dice roll that determines what we become

Hope placed into the hands of Lady Fortuna

Can’t control who we are, can’t control what is written in stone

I try to be my own man, but the weight of the world pulls me down

I try to live my own life, but the weight of the world pulls me down

Fingers pointed in every direction, who is to blame?

We’re all the culprits and we’re all the victims
