Lyrics
Awaken bound in steel
Wires reach claws and teeth
Vacant husk of meat
Cables pumping bleach
Eyeballs seared from the signal
Twisted form of man
Tainted half-machine
Copper needling through the flesh
Tendons tethered to the system
With all the cables closing in
With all we’ve clung to crumbling
When all the bulbs are blinding, a marble sky, a world unwinding
Entrancing imbalance of flesh and metal
The parasite enveloping
We hammer, the door never opens
We cling to a promise of release
A promise that never comes to pass
A message in stone, an image in glass
With all the lenses watching
With all we’ve strove for struggling
We take the grief and clutch it
We taste the greed and swallow
It takes the flesh and bends it
We taste the bile and follow
This is the end time but we can’t take our eyes off of the light
The time for repentance but we are only mesmerised
And still we must feed, we must swell, we must breed
Fields of fossilised bones, thrive in the filth, entranced by the stone
Battle-hardened world, withered and wizened globe
Bound to the blackness, in masses and alone
And atop each peak, each street, howl to the wind in defeat
Crimson sky strains the horizon, blood red pools at our feet
“Those who see the path must guide it, those who heed the words must speak!”
“Those who see the path must guide it, those who heed the words must speak!”
