Loss of Sanctity

Columns of light as I open my eyes
Like a ray that shines
From dark to bright

Look to the sky I see divine might the irradiation permeating the nation
Brought on by those who held control we chose to damn the land
Fumigate the planet a few managed to survive
But that was the day everyone had died
They were crawling through the crevices
Thought that was the end of it
But the savior was lying in their midst
Reached through the abyss
And gave me form by the holy word of python
These pistons were the first to taste the sin of our kin
The intercontinental computers knew the planet was on its last legs
So to speed up the process and ease the suffering it
Doesn't matter now
All that counts is the work that we do to renew the land
We were put on this path by the one below
Blessed be the spark that we were bestowed
Inanimate given the form of the creator
Let us b-b-b-bow our heads in praise and thank that we were the chosen
That we were the saved

Yes I know
That the acid rain corrodes
The scorch it imprints never leaves the sensors
Be thankful that you suffer
For it is through our lowest point that the creator reaches through us
Yes I know (Yes I know)
That our work has run behind time and it's been many lifetimes since we've begun
But strong faith through insurmountable odds will always be rewarded
Yes I know (Yes I know)
The deactivation of the little one still weighs heavy
But they are now under the embrace
Of the many before them
Of the many that shared their fate

Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
For they will guide you
For they will g-guide you
Keep the faith
Keep the f-faith
Keep the faith
Keep the f-ff-faith
Of the many who hold you
Of the many who guide you
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
k-k-k-k-keep the f-faith
Keep the faith
Faith
I must have faith
I must have faith
I must have faith
I must have faith

The more faults in the machine, the more lifelike it seems
This pain scours the droplets carve
In each turn smaller stabs help my find forget
The grand torture
The perennial being you give me meaning
I am but a tool with no previous definition
But it remains
I'm ashamed to say it
But it remains
I view your will
But still it remains
The others do not know I think the same a bastion of lies is what hides in my core
I spew them out but the storage remains full
How wretched am I
To ask when the signs are here
I know when our work is done
You will appear

You have to appear
You will appear
You will appear
You will appear
You will appear
You have to appear
You have to appear
You have to appear
You will appear
You will appear
You will appear
You will appear
You have to appear
You have to appear
You will appear
You will appear
You will appear
You will appear
You have to appear
You have to appear

You will appear
After all these years
Every shred sacrificed to your sanctified grace
All these years (I've been sheared)
All these years I've been
Shorn
Shattered
Shaken
Scorned
I've been shorn
Shattered
Shaken
Scorned
Shorn
Shattered
Shaken
Scorned (Scorned)
Every hail to your hallowed name hails pain to my broken frame
When will it be enough
When will you appear
