Volition:

You were there
I could not see you
These eyes of ignorance
Look only within

See my conflict
My weakness is vast
An arrogant empire [bad word] to collapse

Absence outweighs presence
My regret remains present
No wish no prayer
Can ever bring you home

The path was clear but I wandered
These eyes of ignorance
Look only within
They see pride a dead end
Loyalty a shallow grave
Being [bad word] won't bring honor
This stillness won't end pain

Now shattered under our disdain
Hearts will corrode
Falling through cracks
At the end of the road
