Hyperion
Tether the line to bind us to the moment
Never the time to comprehend, this
Existential
Reality for us
We've weathered the tide, secluded by the sacred
Our survival called for it
But it always, always
Kept us from the answer
It's our calling
To reach beyond our station
Just one reason for defiance
Reminded of all we've forgotten
Fated to fade into nothing
You are not alone
We're all heading there
Sever the ties to all those with the gall to
Monopolise the infinite
When the only surety, is
Our return to dust
Forever behind our forebears in the distance
Treading where I fear to tread
And every atom
Tells me to turn away
We're all marching through the fire
Desperate to sate our desire
Heedless we climb ever higher
Driven on to greater heights
We'll chase the sinking sun
United in oblivion
We're overrun
We'll face our end together
Under this sanguine sky
One fleeting glimpse of the divine
For you and I
Nothing lasts forever
Give us a sign to hasten the acceptance
Of our own mortality
None of us get to
Change the road we're on
All that's
Left for us
Is to make amends
With our lack of permanence
Imperfect as we are
Disconnected from the stars
And cast back down to earth
Clarity returns
We forget none of this is a given
We forget none of this is a given
We forget none of this is a given
Give it up and search for something better
We'll chase the sinking sun
United in oblivion
We're overrun
We'll face our end together
Under this sanguine sky
One fleeting glimpse of the divine
For you and I
Nothing lasts forever
Easier now for us to empathise with
Others upon the path
Harder to harbour this animosity
There is another way
Divided we may stand but
United we will fall
Savour the absurdity
Of being here at all
We'll chase the sinking Sun
United in oblivion
We're overrun
We'll face our end together
Under this sanguine sky
One fleeting glimpse of the divine
For you and I
Nothing lasts forever
Never the time to comprehend, this
Existential
Reality for us
We've weathered the tide, secluded by the sacred
Our survival called for it
But it always, always
Kept us from the answer
It's our calling
To reach beyond our station
Just one reason for defiance
Reminded of all we've forgotten
Fated to fade into nothing
You are not alone
We're all heading there
Sever the ties to all those with the gall to
Monopolise the infinite
When the only surety, is
Our return to dust
Forever behind our forebears in the distance
Treading where I fear to tread
And every atom
Tells me to turn away
We're all marching through the fire
Desperate to sate our desire
Heedless we climb ever higher
Driven on to greater heights
We'll chase the sinking sun
United in oblivion
We're overrun
We'll face our end together
Under this sanguine sky
One fleeting glimpse of the divine

Under this sanguine sky
One fleeting glimpse of the divine
For you and I
Nothing lasts forever
