The crippled bull of dischord, wrath, and avarice will find its way into another age. 4x Ebb, flow, return again. Flower of disease blossoms again. Speak; do not tremble. Gasp contently and disappear. Oh! This dance of distraction; we ponder the pities of plastic and passion. We learn, in cold precise fashion, as we merge with this cancer we've made. Behold! Eternal returning; arise the black sun, this scorched earth has stopped turning. Deceit, our modern condition. We stare at the face of this grand contradiction. Speak; do not tremble. Gasp contently and disappear. You will hide in the caverns of mountains. Vomit, the stench of this iron age. Nameless creatures, speaking in tongues forgotten. Of fear, born fire and rage. (Fear, born fire and rage.) Only traces are left behind. Sorry, silent stares breathing poisoned air. Children shrieking towards the sky. Hatred they declare, and they care not where. Ebb, flow, return again. Flower of disease blossoms again. Speak; do not tremble. Gasp contently and disappear. Oh! This dance of distraction; we ponder the pities of plastic and passion. We learn, in cold precise fashion, as we merge with this cancer we've made. Behold! Eternal returning; arise the black sun, this scorched earth has stopped turning. Deceit, our modern condition. We stare at the face of this grand contradiction. (Stare in the face) of this grand contradiction.

Father's dream; devour the twin. Sisters scream "for our sins." They'll cut their flesh to make amends, and grasp for ghosts that savior sends. Ghosts she sends. Those she sends... 4x This beginning is where it ends. We regress for our sins. 4x This road is ending. There'll be no warmth or light beyond. The sun is setting... 2x Ghosts she sends. Ghosts she sends... 4x Father's dream; devour the twin. Sisters scream "for our sins." They'll cut their flesh to make amends, and grasp for ghosts that savior sends. Ghosts she sends. Those she sends... 4x

Gazing at the world from this mountaintop Locked together; held together, mass disaster Circle is closed as our net is dragged in Illusion of freedom dulls your weakened senses Gazing at the world from this mountaintop Locked together; end together, drawing nearer Circle is closed as our net is dragged in Insulate and isolate together No escape mechanical inter-dependence 2x There's a place within the mind; colored splendor there, you'll remember where... A scene where beauty used to shine, never yours or mine, faded, broken lines... Gazing at the world from this mountaintop Locked together; held together, mass disaster Circle is closed as our net is dragged in Illusion of freedom dulls your weakened senses Gazing at the world from this mountaintop Locked together; end together, drawing nearer Circle is closed as our net is dragged in Insulate and isolate together No escape mechanical inter-dependence Beauty, terror, secure, error, believe, decieve, this is something that can not be undone Distrust, you must, silence, violence, be still, know that, you are Something that never existed There's a place within the mind; colored splendor there, you'll remember where... A scene where beauty used to shine, never yours or mine, faded, broken lines... Only traces are left behind. Sorry, silent stares breathing poisoned air. Children shrieking towards the sky. Hatred they declare, and they care not where.
