lyrics
We the feral creature, unable to see
That which is has become, and eventually could be
Bestowed sentience
Cursed with ego
Failing to see beyond the linear
Bereft of clarity, we are alone in our insanity
A dismal reflection of our inabilities
Found in the memory of our past misdeeds
Face to face, twitching, gnawing
Staring back into the embodiment of chaos
Clutching to sanity
You cannot know what you have become
This refusal to see a disease that brews in the mind
A rot, a taint, slowly spreading, growing, consuming; rotting cell by cell
We are but a step beyond the beasts
Twisted from innocence to depravity
Yet they are that much nobler in their passivity
We are burdened by higher consciousness
And delusions of morality
We the "enlightened breed" reach forth with crooked fingers
To strangle
Hands around our own throats
Choking, suffocating
Another corpse falls upon the pile
Behold our monument to death
Barely arisen from the primordial mire
And now we proclaim ourselves god
Of a world littered with icons of pestilence
We are a species worshipping its own self-destruction
We'll claw our way upwards
Towards the burning sun
Skin scorched and blistered
Broken and bleeding, and still we climb higher
Now once upon the peak
Above our ruin (stand trembling alone)
There is nothing for us below
From these withered lips, the last breath of man
escapes into the void (never to return)
They wont remember us
Our ruin, our legacy
Our ashes all that remain
"They wont remember us
They wont remember us"
That which is has become, and eventually could be
Bestowed sentience
Cursed with ego
Failing to see beyond the linear
Bereft of clarity, we are alone in our insanity
A dismal reflection of our inabilities
Found in the memory of our past misdeeds
Face to face, twitching, gnawing
Staring back into the embodiment of chaos
Clutching to sanity
You cannot know what you have become
This refusal to see a disease that brews in the mind
A rot, a taint, slowly spreading, growing, consuming; rotting cell by cell
We are but a step beyond the beasts
Twisted from innocence to depravity
Yet they are that much nobler in their passivity
We are burdened by higher consciousness
And delusions of morality
We the "enlightened breed" reach forth with crooked fingers
To strangle
Hands around our own throats
Choking, suffocating
Another corpse falls upon the pile
Behold our monument to death
Barely arisen from the primordial mire
And now we proclaim ourselves god
Of a world littered with icons of pestilence
We are a species worshipping its own self-destruction
We'll claw our way upwards
Towards the burning sun
Skin scorched and blistered
Broken and bleeding, and still we climb higher
Now once upon the peak
Above our ruin (stand trembling alone)
There is nothing for us below
From these withered lips, the last breath of man
escapes into the void (never to return)
They wont remember us
Our ruin, our legacy
Our ashes all that remain
"They wont remember us
They wont remember us"
