You said we wouldn’t die,
But here we are now with stakes in our eyes,
Backstabbed at every turn,
It’s in your genetic code to falsify,
We are nothing more than obsolete,
Dispensable automated clones of ourselves,
Your penchant for power has lynched your heart.
We hold on to the light at the end,
Before it’s gone,
We’ve been hanging on to you,
Too long,
And we cannot remain,
You promised us our freedom,
But you faked your way out,
The system always has been yours to control,
The empire you have built on the backs of slaves will all decay in time,
Reduced to naught, like everything,
Build your walls, to watch them fall,
We see now, far too late, the liars lead us,
Our time has passed but this is all deserved:
We pray,
As darkness comes for you,
And now we sway,
We’ve fallen in line,
Blind,
We pray,
Longing for solutions,
Finding comfort in unreachable space;
God is dead,
Crowned with his thorns,
Nailed to his cross by apathetic scorn,
By our misguided sight,
A fool now with gold in his eyes,
A dying monument,
It falls,
The aftermath is war,
A war we can’t contain.
We see now, far too late, the liars lead us,
Our time has passed but this is all deserved:
We pray,
As darkness comes for you,
And now we sway,
We’ve fallen in line,
Blind,
The diseased and the cold,
The young and the old,
They all will follow,
And they will bow to shame.
We see now, far too late, the liars lead us,
Our time has passed but this is all deserved,
We pray,
As darkness comes for you,
And now we sway,
We’ve fallen in line,
Blind.

All that we loved we abandoned,
As we gave our minds to god,
Bowing before the altar,
Singing songs of holocaust,
Fuelling fires with words that held no consequence for us,
Rallied, roused for a cause that meant nothing more than bloodlust,
As we heard:
Give it all to me,
I can set you free,
Give it all to me,
I can set you free, before you break your back,
Before the wolves attack,
Escape this wretched place,
And fall to death’s embrace,
Don’t tell me you didn’t know,
Don’t tell me you couldn’t see this lie unfold,
As you sat there, languishing in apathy,
Give it all to me,
Buckled underneath,
The weight of your defeat,
Paralysed,
Give it all to me,
Buckled underneath,
The weight of your defeat,
Give it all to me,
I can set you free,
Give it all to me.

Is it over now?
Will I be okay?
Is this hope or a fall, or the end of it all, or ascendancy?
I can feel my soul ascending,
And be it heaven or hell,
I know my destination will serve me well,
Don't you think you can hide from me
Sleep tonight, we rise
Don't you tell me to lie,
Tell me to bleed,
To be what you need tonight
Sleep tonight, we rise
I am transient,
Eclipsing the meaningless,
I can feel my soul ascending.
Is anything real?
Can you hear me out here?
In this barren hollow...
Don't you think you can hide from me
Sleep tonight, we rise
Don't you tell me to lie,
Tell me to bleed,
To be what you need tonight
Sleep tonight, we rise
You saw this through,
You wanted to.
I can feel my soul ascending,
I can feel my soul, ascending.

It doesn’t matter if I was lying here or standing;
Because it was always following me,
Do I caress your bones or do you caress mine?
Do we both stroke the muscle underneath the skin we ripped?
I will not let you consume me,
I refuse to bow to collapse this time.
When you go, don’t expect me to drag you back up off your knees again,
When you go, you deserve to kneel,
And I won’t reduce myself, to a facet of your hell,
‘Cause I know what lies beneath the false outside of me,
Nothing exists until it is torn - I will repeat and refract my retention,
Nothing has form until it is broken - I am reaping the flow of my failures,
Nothing has meaning until it has left - to facilitate continuation,
Nothing has purpose until it has wept - I am questioning my own existence,
I will not let you consume me,
I refuse to bow to collapse this time.
When you go, don’t expect me to drag you back up off your knees again,
When you go, you deserve to kneel,
And I won’t reduce myself, to a facet of your hell,
‘Cause I know what lies beneath the false outside of me.
Do you know what you did to me?
It shapes, it contorts, it twists and revolts, it seethes beneath, watching, waiting, and hating,
A snapped neck is a conscience check, and a conscience check is fatal,
I’m watching you,
Fucker,
When you go, don’t expect me to drag you back up off your knees again,
When you go, you deserve to kneel,
And I won’t reduce myself, to a facet of your hell,
‘Cause I know what lies beneath the false outside of me.
Stigmatise me! I don’t care!
You’ll never understand what isn’t even there.
You will never see, through these bleeding eyes,
Your conjectures misguided; it wants me to die.
