Hunter Gatherer

Cyborg entrails We build Valhalla out of its dreams Silicone, copper, and steel Star-clad circuits Within these digits we cease to be The temple is ready, now kneel We accelerate We accelerate We accelerate Straight from the core We accelerate We accelerate We accelerate Never let go Silence The age of apes Silence The age of apes Lifeless rebirth The genocide begins with the trees Watch as the terminal bleeds Ciphered sirens The broken ladder speaks as we peel We all have to pay for our deeds, let's go We accelerate We accelerate We accelerate Straight from the core We accelerate We accelerate We accelerate Never let go Silence The age of apes Silence The age of apes We accelerate We accelerate We accelerate Straight from the core We accelerate We accelerate We accelerate Never let go Silence The age of apes Silence The age of apes

In the image of man We breed our demons On the wide wings of science Our abomination of a child flies Ask me for your name, my friend Tell me what I feel like to you Is it coming to an end? I don't understand it Colossus Colossus, arise In old bones in the soil We plant a garden We are harvesting progress The glow of a worm inside a child's eye Ask me for your name, my friend Tell me what I feel like to you Is it coming to an end? I don't understand it Colossus Colossus, arise Make your way up to the top Of electric mountains Ask me for your name, my friend Tell me what I feel like to you Is it coming to an end? I don't understand it Colossus Colossus, arise Colossus Arise

I'm blown away Like a layer of dust on the floor of the hall where we first met Trust was the first thing we lost that day You asked where to stay You would do what you must and the drawings would say more than you could Lust for red berries, the taste of shame How about me and you leaving? There must be a way out of here Look from the corner of your eye The doorway is real Hey now, why even try? This isn't home There must be a way out Listen, you have to try The door will show before we land, before we land Before we land, before we land I just wanna play There's a scent of regret but I don't know whose time we are stealing Ask me and I wouldn't change a thing Am I in the way? I will do what I must to make sure that our treasures are hidden Move with the currents, just one more day How about me and you leaving? There must be a way out of here Look from the corner of your eye The doorway is real Hey now, why even try? This isn't home There must be a way out Listen, you have to try The door will show before we land, before we land Before we land, before we land I'm blown away, like a layer of dust Yes, but I don't know the name I've been given No more than dirt so do what you must I know I must pay, I know it's a crime Yes, but if you come inside, I'm forgiven But there's that urge to flee We can fight some other time How about me and you leaving? There must be a way out of here Look from the corner of your eye The doorway is real Hey now, why even try? This isn't home There must be a way out Listen, you have to try The door will show before we land, before we land Before we land, before we land

Just save the child Leave me to die No escape and no-one cares Purple lightning, spheric shapes Body fears what mind creates I swim across I won't wake if you don't sleep Fingers search for torn up seams Lips make shapes of silent screams I swim across I am the god of sick dreams A city torn by mischief Your fantasies still buried I am the god of sick dreams Hideous shape In my image No escape and no-one cares Purple lightning, spheric shapes Body fears what mind creates I swim across I won't wake if you don't sleep Fingers search for torn up seams Lips make shapes of silent screams I swim across I am the god of sick dreams A city torn by mischief Your fantasies still buried I am the god of sick dreams God of sick dreams God of sick dreams God of sick dreams God of sick dreams This is how it ends Every night is the same We awake to get sentenced And a choice must be made Will you succumb to excruciating pain? Or will you try to escape? Doesn't matter, you're fucked either way I am the god of sick dreams A city torn by mischief Your fantasies still buried I am the god of sick dreams

Oh, what are waves to the desert? What's your name to a road long gone? Who am I to be punished? Who am I at all? What are songs to the beaten? And just what are you waiting for? Why is everyone staring? Why are you staring? Can you hear me? Say we'll be okay Kiss me where I break Echoes of our voices fading We were a mistake Say we'll be okay Bend until I break Scream until the walls collapse Scream until you wake Oh, what's the time of departure? What are we even leaving for? How can I make you see me? How are we alive? What's the way back to Eden? And just what have they left for us? Where are all the lost children? Where are you going? Can you take me? Say we'll be okay Kiss me where I break Echoes of our voices fading We were a mistake Say we'll be okay Bend until I break Scream until the walls collapse Scream until you wake Free at last, forever and ever Born outcast to no one and never heard again You can't get hurt again We'll meet again See you again, see you again Will you remember? Say we'll be okay Kiss me where I break Echoes of our voices fading We were a mistake Say we'll be okay Bend until I break Scream until the walls collapse Scream until you wake

There was a funeral last week, a procession down the street People acted like the circus came to town The choir sang so loud when the casket hit the ground That the tiny bell that rang was all but drowned She's buried alive Buried alive A little child stood by the grave and was told that it was brave It's not right to lose one's mother while so young The child was wondering still that if mother was so ill Then who pulled on the string so the bell rung? She's buried alive Buried alive Come, let's go outside and play, pretend we ran away I know a secret place in the garden by the maze They keep their curtains closed and we are never told When no one wants to say, will they let our mother stay? And the silence of the crowd stood in contrast to the sound On the last night when dear mother could still cry There was laughter just before as the child peeked through the door The shadows of her sickness grew too wild Now she's buried alive Buried alive Come, let's go outside and play, pretend we ran away I know a secret place in the garden by the maze They keep their curtains closed and we are never told When no one wants to say, will they let our mother stay? Bring me mother, I can't sleep Child, don't weep, mother's resting Mother will wake up again Bring me mother, I can't sleep Child, don't weep, mother's resting Mother will wake up again Come, let's go outside and play, pretend we ran away I know a secret place in the garden by the maze They keep their curtains closed and we are never told When no one wants to say, will they let our mother stay? We'll let our mother sleep

Warden, let me in I tried to be the mad man in the scene as written for me Boot marks on my chin I did my best to fail at this life as life became misery Cage me, make me sip Your sacraments are tarnished by my lips, I choose to spit Cut me, let her rip Dismember me as minds are set free once bodies are broken Come and gather the shards of our tongues This is justice I can see the future through the barrel of a gun This is justice, this is justice Let me smell the roses of their promises all gone It's their justice, it's their justice Traitor, battle me I need the violence deep inside of me to find a purpose Twisted imagery I dream of the waves that will come and end what we've started I know what I saw I am the witness running from your laws of common physics Poems cut like claws, I saw the children All the children saw us as we danced upon their graves Come and gather the shards of our tongues This is justice I can see the future through the barrel of a gun This is justice, this is justice Let me smell the roses of their promises all gone It's their justice, it's their justice As the sun began to rise The blood on their cheeks evaporated The stencil maker made his rounds Over a town built like a labyrinth Everybody is bound to find cheese In the morning traffic And if they dare to look up and meet our gaze We might have our war Warden, let me in I tried to be the mad man in the scene as written for me Boot marks on my chin I did my best to fail at this life as life became misery I can see the future through the barrel of a gun This is justice, this is justice Let me smell the roses of their promises all gone It's their justice, it's their justice

You give a boy a gun You hope he won't be long You tell him to take aim, be strong You gave it all You give a boy a gun That's how the story ends Atrocities aside, it's nice We won the war Let me take a look at you Just one last time Don't ask me to let go, not now I'm not alright You teach the kids to draw Yet still the page is blank You gave up and you stayed behind You gave it all You give a boy a gun And leave the door unlocked You gave up on yourself, but tonight We won the war Let me take a look at you Just one last time Don't ask me to let go, not now I'm not alright Let me take a look at you Just one last time Don't ask me to let go, not now I'm not alright

Bird carcass with a belly full of plastic One more year and I'll be millionaire Fill my dreams with the void of outer space Don't you dare to show your face I can't take more of the same I want bigger better things and want to end it all I can't let myself go unpunished When is all hope lost? Gotta get to battle at all cost When all but force has failed the strongest Link will break the chain Failing lives on a quest for better bargains One more mile and we'll be in paradise Name your price for the bodies you have slain There's a price for every stain And the currency is pain I need chaos to ensue 'cause I don't want to wake up I can't let your crimes go unpunished When is all hope lost? Gotta get to battle at all cost When all but force has failed the strongest Link will break the chain Ground up bugs is the color of season Shit feast grin, we are everything we eat Mass grave death like an orgy in the snow Nowhere left to go We're devoured by the glow I know monsters aren't real but I know what I've done I want to tell you all I'm sorry When is all hope lost? Gotta get to battle at all cost When all but force has failed the strongest Link will break the chain

The propulsion is broken We implode No one cares Abandon all hope Just don't abandon me A sickness I used to know Sickness inside the heart One million miles ago And one million years apart The wormhole The wormhole is closing There's no navigator The starlight is lost No one's left Everything's gone You're doomed, so stay with me A sickness I used to know Sickness inside the heart One million miles ago And one million years apart The wormhole The wormhole is closing We built pillars to the sky as a final attempt To take off upon the solar winds What no one realized at the time Was that the earthly structures took the shape of a mausoleum Banished from the vacuum void we once came from Our caskets were petroleum A sickness I used to know Sickness inside the heart One million miles ago And one million years apart A sickness I used to know Sickness inside the heart One million miles ago And one million years apart The wormhole The wormhole is closing
