lyrics

wait on our knees and pray
to what trending faith
pray for all to see
transient belief
mother, don't you cry
and sing your lullaby
father's coming soon
to take away the pain

all i see and all i know
sifting through the vacuous collective mind
what you reap is what you show
painted on illusionary canvases

i try to find a way out
sinking on a vessel in the emptiness of what's left behind
i see the future coming from below

and as the void turns into conductivity, signified divinity
we all pay tithe unto the harbinger bellowing his fellowship of
woe is this gift i bring to your door
portraits of interfaces smiling through the glass
weaponizing vanity, controlling what it means to be unknown

we wade into the sediment
collecting the filth that gives us a purpose
atrophy for the pulpit
holding our breathless air

the end of night and day
stars slithering across an endless gray
placebo pulses beating in arrhythmiatic contest

our mother beckons home
turning earth to sand
and rending flesh from bone

a last chance to save our souls
the transmission is growing weaker

while you drown in delight
at the edge of ascendancy
a feeling divine
i'm fading away

our lives on a line
drawn in the sands of the hourglass
so vicious a sight
i can't look away

away from the blight
away from the suffering
away from the poison arrow that penetrates
the heels of this hedonic race

we die here tonight
flesh and bone disguises, silicon comprises all that we came to be
condign misery

and we arrive on distant shores
once burning beacon, now a glow
these battered lungs excrete a feeble consolation

while you drown in delight
at the edge of ascendancy
a feeling divine
i'm fading away

we all hail the sight
of the future industrial complication
an answer to all the prayers
bearing priority fare

aversion denied
can't seem to find a way
to hide from the sadness that suffocates
a fleeting life that celebrates this fate

we die here tonight
flesh and bone disguised, silicon comprised
cogs of the god machine
evolution complete

i die here tonight
so wide awake i leave behind this surrogate
a feeling divine
i'm fading away
