The ground dissolves beneath our feet
The ground dissolves beneath our feet
The ground dissolves beneath our feet
The ground dissolves beneath our feet
Soldiers of night
Eyes to the sky, outside of time
Unmoving, willing to be forgot
Black water
Monuments raised, yearning expires
In limbo, dead ends of our own making
And the nothing
Comfortably numb, deep in the fade
Ain’t moving, just waiting around to die
Once we chased Gods, taught ourselves to strive
It’s easy to taste the dirt when you’re absent of pride
Blank inertia of small-town life
Suddenly ain’t a word we know passing eons by
If we stay it all crumbles to dust
It’ll crumble anyway if we get out
But maybe a chance to lift ourselves up
And be as the Gods for just one moment
The willing trade of ambition for sloth
As sins go one’s more virtuous
Not easier though and that’s what’s sought
The culmination of a race bred to be soft
Past the mountains and dark discards
A glimmer of purpose as radiation falls
Wormhole Olympus, Hades by train
Ain’t where you go but what’s in between
A losing fight and the end begins
Surrendered ground, relinquished friends
Bound by unbreakable ties
Stronger than chains and lifetimes wide
To the darkness an ordained fact
So be full of fire embracing the black
Suns go nova, the only choice
Roar in the flames or burn with no voice
Independent of our lives
Elevating of our minds
All our time, all we are and can do
All we’ve done, all we’ve come to undo
Scars of wars we all contain
Nothing ever hurts again
All our time, all we are and can do
All we’ve done, all we’ve come to undo
Now free
Fighting our way from insignificant to this
Emboldened, burning with the fire of apotheosis
