lyrics

How can we ever feel alive?
Numb to our worth
labor as advertised

Are we only born to dream?
Is this what we really aim to be?

We, the cognizant
of our separation from suns
risen from mindless teeming
chemical fruit born conscious

We, the blessed with a chance to escape
selection of the fittest
resort to hierarchical subjugation

Arise to find a darkness overcoming all life
In time the taste of triumph will be infinite
Our conscience falters
Look yourself straight in the eye:
We will rebuild the world again

I close my eyes and let the whole world fall to its knees
When living is not to understand
to free ourselves, is to free all the Earth
I will not rest until I close my eyes

Are we prepared to realize
the fire inside burns alive?

We, the wasted away
born into chains of wage
misled by your Pax et Lux
survival is submission

We, the scribes
authors of all knowledge
available but ignored
the blood on which we build ourselves

We, the enraged - but not enough
for the fear of death is strong
No choice but to kill or starve
so we kill to prolong

I’ll fight for you and be ostracized
Until I end this life

Solo: Marchand

What I am is not what love demands of me
What we are is less than we can be
Set me free
You and I
walk hand in hand
when all act in love

Solo: Jeong

Worshipping sacrifice
Consuming suffering
Wasting our conscience
We will rebuild again

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore Jacob Ballance
