lyrics

Like a flower,
I stand paralysed,
Unable to focus my eyes,
My powerless limbs,
I reach up to my face,
Stone cold,
So very cold,
The sky is blood red,
The sea a fungal green,
The trees torn down around me,
The last animals scurry for deawook,
For safety,
The haze closing in around me,
Closer, Closer,
Darkness,
Choking my very bones,
The three triangular lights,
The hiss of satisfied gears,
The light burning in my retinas,
The pain echoing through my skull,
The blistering numbness of my body failed to respond,
Brainwashed by the agonising halo of light before me,
Not the first time,
Why did it have to come to this,
We knew all along,
How arrogant we are,
The sands that had been burying our heads all the while,
They had been suffocating us,
Perhaps they knew?
We can blame the leaders,
We can blame the churches,
We can even blame our brothers,
But it was us,
Each and every fucking one of us,
There is no running now,
There is no turning back,
no time to redeem ourselves,
We've had our second chance,
And look how that went,
We can only learn now,
Learn from our mistakes,
To now embrace this fate,
Our destiny,
Atrophy,
Crying,
I reach to the one next to me,
The one,
The only one,
I reach for the hand,
In this numbness,
I can feel the ashes on the skin,
Course against my bloody fingers,
A tear,
Oh the haze!
Face - ah!
facing deep into the light,
I wonder,
Given another chance, maybe
just maybe,
We-,
