So they say it's getting better now

And we're climbing ever higher up the scale

Soon controlling all conceivable solutions

No one notices that all our efforts fail

Progress, we are marching backward

Progress, as the captains of our fate

Progress, as we spiral downward

Progress, we defile and we desecrate

Calculating every possible obstruction

Have to sacrifice a few along the way

Devolution from genetic degradation

Seperation from Creator brought decay

Progress, we are marching backward

Progress, as the captains of our fate

Progress, as we spiral downward

Progress, we destroy and we annihilate

Ideologies, moralities are pass

It's said the concept of religion's obsolete

Something's missing in our picture of the future

It seems our latest observations' incomplete

Progress, we are marching backward

Progress, as the captains of our fate

Progress, as we spiral downward

Progress, we entangle and we complicate
