lyrics

Falling suns of exploration,
Mind and fear.
Visions of hope from intellects.
Gods to the hand made spear.
Teachings are warnings,
of past returning to light.
“we do not deserve your blessings, we give you
understanding and insight”.

Dialectical failure.
Inconsistent fluency.
Failure to describe their maker.
To quench their reverence.

The distance between the dates grew,
distorted and told.
Paintings of the son of light,
Carved in papyrus and gold.
Larva cocooned and winged,
Yet the voice remains strong.
Dictates the movements of man,
and creation of the gun.

Teach mice to sleep,
through the quaking earth and fear,
the raping of concrete breath and tear.

Snow over the footsteps left that lead,
directly from office to death scene.

(Only once we push the boundaries of man,
Can we pursue the path of gods.
Create the halos of our dimensions,
and defy what were told to fear).

(Teach mice to sleep)
Teach mice to sleep,
through the quaking earth and fear,
the raping of concrete breath and tear.

Teach mice to sleep.
Through the quaking earth (and fear),
The raping of concrete (breath and tear).

Teach mice to sleep,
through the quaking earth and fear,
the raping of concrete breath and tear.

[Two possibilities exist, we are either alone in the universe, or we are not. Both are equally as terrifying]**
