We think we're part of the free world
But we've never been so wrong
As time is being moved out of joint
We cannot imagine any defiance
Somehow thinking that we're unaffected
When we stand against the racing standstill
We've lost the will and resolve to move away
As all alliances have long been broken apart

Our hearts die somewhere in silence
In search of resolution
In the name of progress

What was set in motion
Has spun out of control
If truth is spoken at the end of all this
And what will be heard
We cannot imagine
And I feel this is how the story ends

Our lives now derailed by momentum
We cannot see the outcome anymore
We've lost all hope and vision to make it out
Deluded by profusion and unrelenting need
So we wander alone
As all that is solid melts into air
Lost in isolation
We cannot prevail against these odds

Our hearts die somewhere in silence
In search of resolution
In the name of progress

Our minds turn into overdrive
To endure this terminal state of being
In the face of revolution
In the name of progress

What was set in motion
Has spun out of control
If truth is spoken at the end of all this
And what will be heard
We cannot imagine
And I feel this is how the story ends

A whispering silence, a call looming from beyond
A longing for sleep that brings rest from all the grief
Past friends, past lovers, past all the earthly content
I found volition in self-abandonment

See the fortress wiped out by rain and hail
Standing in the dim light of an Evenstar

Breaching the core, exploding into a thousand gleaming sparks
For all to see
The storm is settling
The fortress lies in ruins just to be built anew

Staring into the void, black static fills the eyes
I'm driving the blazing lance into the heart of darkness

So for all the deeds left undone
All the words unspoken
I bid thee farewell my friend
Forever
Forever fare thee well
Or can't you hear the whispers in the deep?

Flickering flames are slowly gathering
To burst into a new sun
A star born from the gaping hollows
Of a lonesome heart
This legacy of a broken soul
Carry it out into the world
So the new disciples
They shall follow the longest trail

At last he is calling me home, back into the mirk
I bid thee farewell my friend, so forever fare thee well

A few moments may remain to stand atop the pantheon of dreams
Its shadow cast into the emptiness inside
Victorious beneath the wavering stars
And scattered clouds

Offworld to a place where fortune lies
Far from this smeared neon glow and rainy nights
Down here where no answers were to be found
Driven to escape without avail and against all odds

A new life awaits you they preached
Asking where we will be when all comes crashing down

If all lose ends meet, we must not fail
For with this comes the end swallowing us whole

We lay dying at the eve of our days
Beneath dimly lit skies brimming with life
As your blood ran cold and my heart stopped beating
Now embraced, our mortal remains

Still we've seen
Like pyres on the firmament
These glorious bursts of posthuman transience
The scent of burning flesh filled our nostrils
A blissful feeling of victory pulsating within

It was a call of destiny and we answered
We held the day in the palm of our hand
Once echoing threnodies for the fallen
Now silenced by time

I'll tell your fervid heart what it was like to be alive
Of flashes of light piercing through the darkness
I'll tell of signs of struggle, now long forgotten
When memory has become corrupted and we're long gone

When there's nothing to rebel against
When we can't see beyond the obvious
We're falling victim to shortsighted social constructs
Break'em down to the essential

Now take a good look and see
Claim the moral high ground
And set yourselves up for the fall
Our public discourse poisoned by self-righteousness

We are so afraid
Of all that is real
Confirmation bias
Is all that we seek

You're caught inside the echo chamber
Forge ahead as the leader of movement
As I try to free myself of this delusion
By entering a new state of revolt
These dead letters, they pass for a better solution
So we're just as guilty as our fellow man

Nothing but fact resistant beliefs
A statute of emotion not thought
I can no longer stand this complacency
As I cut off this nefarious stream of words
For in this debate there's no place for reason or logic
All hidden in self-reassurance, no normative sense of self

You're caught inside the echo chamber
Forge ahead as the leader of movement
As I try to free myself of this delusion
By entering a new state of revolt
These dead letters, they pass for a better solution
So we're just as guilty as our fellow man

So we're just as guilty
As our fellow man
