Age of Reality

Your faith in the age of innocence,

In the permanence of justice,

All is but a dream,

An erroneous belief.

Let me take you,

On a journey of appraisal,

Far away from your ivory tower,

To the world of blood and guile,

Ungodly as a child's shriek,

Where death isn't the greatest tragedy,

Where wisdom becomes insanity,

And knowledge turns to sorrow.

Welcome,

Welcome to the age of reality.
