The New Eternity

Mother tell me, why do the waters make us sick?

Who bleeds the heavens making the clouds rain pestilence?

Dropping fever, like manna from the morning sky

Gather your children and hold them as they die

Panic humming in the palm of my hand (My hand)

Silent vectors injected with the curse of man

Bodies dissected, heartbeats redirected

The past was dead, why did we resurrect it?

Strange fruit grows on the vine

Of humankind

Beneath a bright synthetic sky

I saw the future die

A web of wires in our mind

Weaves an empire down our spine

I fear we've sealed our fate

There's no escape, there's no escape

The new eternity

Strange fruit is growing on the vine

Beneath a bright synthetic sky

I fear we've sealed our fate

There's no escape, there's no escape

The new eternity

Germinating extinction

The people unite when you dose them with fear

Relinquish their will, let their objections disappear

Crowds galvanized by vapid words and septic slurs

Utterly transfixed by the fiction of the "Greater good"

Estranged in this age we set sail to the stars

Return to the Earth still unaware of who we are

We've come too far, we've come too far

We've come too far, it's all I know

The darkness didn't die, no, we brought it home

(I sowed a secret deep in the Earth)

(But despite the world, it grew)

(I knew all things could be made new)

All things will be made new

A web of wires in our mind

Weaves an empire down our spine

I fear we've sealed our fate

There's no escape, there's no escape

The new eternity

Strange fruit is growing on the vine

Beneath a bright synthetic sky

I fear we've sealed our fate

There's no escape, there's no escape

The new eternity

Cross the Great Divide and see

Light and dark collide in me

Shake the shroud of secrecy

Uproot the grim hegemony

The new eternity
