I stand in awe at the might of Earth
Immense structures adorn her My life and love lies here Yet never can I return Never will I Know your green again? Never can I Return to you? Never will I Bathe in your seas? Never can I Breathe your air? Every night I beg for this To return To our home Every day I cry for this What have we Done to you? Barren wastes 'Neath my boots Dusty wind Against the sky Cracked view from The gas mask I can finally see My Earth A thousand shades of a lifeless hue Oceans dried and forests gone Murder the mountains and rape the sky To make way for the acid rain A thousand shades of a lifeless hue Oceans dried and forests burned Murder the mountains, mutilate the sky To make way for your doomsday My life and my love lies here Yet never can I return 02. Creation: Coalescing Particles
Elements thrive
In a maelstrom of mass Condensing existence To a single point Infinitely dense No laws can be applied Everything is nothing And nothing is all A burning sphere Infantile star A citadel of ice Froze upon foreign shores A transmigration of Galaxies A universe dead Folds upon itself Inside a structure Spanning further than light Have I become a monster? Or am I still man? Questions like a poison Infest the mind At the end of this road Is there even redemption? Super symmetrical Dimensions compress The dreamlike view Below the river of time Matter and mass Now mine to control Cosmic strings To weave a grand design A thunderous roar Inside the great halls Echoes throughout The essence of being Sparked into spastic Momentary existence Witness the birth of time Coalescing particles To form realms anew Devouring star systems To fuel this inferno Time, space, matter, and mass Life and death A particle universe is born 5,000 years Watching in silence Contemplating the coming war The universe In the palms of my hands The awe Am I worthy of this? A thunderous roar Inside the great halls Echoes throughout The essence of being Sparked into spastic Momentary existence Witness the birth of time An ungodly roar From absent eyes Eviscerates through Ancient machinery An experiment To begin eternal war Existence becomes my weapon Have I become a monster? Or am I still man? Questions that no longer Seem relevant For in my hatred And anger I Will become anything That I must 03. Memory: The Waves As They Crash Against The Stars
Our minds are the Earth
Atop the sea A fragile ship drifting Amongst cosmic waves Immersed in this obtuse Reality Minds separate And drown alone Winds guide our consciousness To the skies Where our bodies rest In the seas of Sol The Earth and the sun Drift away Lost forever To the stars The black hole inside you Is consuming your form Slowly taking you from me I cannot believe That I allowed this To happen to you Galaxies fall apart Crumble lifelessly Into colliding Waves crash against the stars Drowning them in our seas Swallowed with the Earth Infinity Is the only thing I'll long for Just one more century To undo all That I have done To this world, to myself But I shall remain Pariah unforgiven Our minds, we're the Earth Atop the sea A fragile ship drifting Amongst cosmic waves Drowning in this Obtuse reality Minds separate And die Galaxies fall apart Crumble lifelessly Into colliding Waves crash against the stars Drowning them in our seas Swallowed with the Earth Infinity Is the only thing I'll long for Just one more century To undo all That I have done To this world, to myself But I shall remain Pariah unforgiven 04. Prometheus
[The Archaeologist:]
Prometheus Can you see this? [Prometheus:] Images coming in clear But what do I see? [The Archaeologist:] It is death By the thousands A drop of liquid To destroy existence Disassembling the Twisted ladder of our Imperfect DNA [The Archaeologist:] Oh, Engineer Can you hear me? Why do you despise us? What have we done To deserve your scorn? Why, God, why? Tell me now [The Infected:] Prometheus Can't you hear me? You cannot allow This plague to persist [Prometheus:] What is happening? What of this death you speak? [The Infected:] Please just listen For you must kill me Please [The Archaeologist:] Prometheus Forgive me For you must sacrifice [Prometheus:] Yes, we know This is to be our fate Fire on Ion propulsion [The Archaeologist:] LV-223 Your disease will not claim me I want to know I deserve to know To seek out my maker To know my destroyer And let my fury be known [The Archaeologist:] LV-223 Your disease will not claim me I want to know I deserve to know To seek out my maker To know my destroyer And let my fury be known 05. Bridge To Cross
Standing over a fault line
With a foot planted on either side With the only world I ever knew Balanced on one shoulder And a heart I'm just getting used to Beating on the other sleeve I stood my ground in a place I knew I might never find peace And as my foundation shakes I'm left to wonder Did I nurture this expanding divide? Golden bridges turn the color of flame And suicide missions are redeemed When they become fatalities Of natural disasters My steel core is melting Oh, if you only knew About the doubts I allowed To grow up through the cracks Pushing their way out Grasping at sunlight I can't choose a side But I can't stay here anymore Standing on the edge A voice begins to whisper I've tried to ignore it, but I can't avoid Such a groundbreaking revelation Standing on the edge of an abyss I know where my real home is And I'm leaving it behind (I know) where my real home is (And I'm) leaving it behind (Jump down) and lose it all (I have) a feeling I'll fall (I know) where my real home is (And I'm) leaving it behind (Jump down) and lose it all (I have) a feeling I'll fall anyway Golden bridges turn the color of flame And suicide missions are redeemed When they become fatalities Of natural disasters My steel core is melting Oh, if you only knew About the doubts I allowed To grow up through the cracks Pushing their way out Grasping at sunlight Yeah Let's go Standing on the edge of an abyss A voice begins to whisper I've tried to ignore it, but I can't avoid Such a groundbreaking revelation Standing on the edge of an abyss Because I'm holding onto so much I just might lose it all I know where my real home is And I'm leaving it behind Standing on the edge of an abyss I just might lose it all I know where my real home is And I'm leaving it behind |
