Woe

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
