The Dead World
This world was dead from the start
When the ancients first found this planet
It was nothing but a wasteland
A roiling sea
Chaos and entropy
Uninhabited
Uninhabitable
No sign of life
A million miles away from home
No light to guide
Transplanting the seeds of hope
They moved the mountains into place
Terraformed the surface to their will
They sculpted oceans out of desert space
Flawless design in each detail
(This world was dead from the start)
A formless void
A toxic tempest
A new beginning
Within their hands
No sign of life
A million miles away from home
No light to guide
Transplanting the seeds of hope
They carved the rivers out of dust
Transplanted forests where they stand
Broke up the fallow planet's crust
Injected life into the land
No way to see it then
No way to predict
Hidden beneath the skin
The host could not detect
No way to see it then
No way to predict
Hidden beneath the skin
The host could not detect
There is a curse above the water
And now it lives within us all
It is a blight that will devour
It will devour us all
Lost forever
Lost inside our own...
Flesh
Flesh
No sign of life
No light to guide
When the ancients first found this planet
It was nothing but a wasteland
A roiling sea
Chaos and entropy
Uninhabited
Uninhabitable
No sign of life
A million miles away from home
No light to guide
Transplanting the seeds of hope
They moved the mountains into place
Terraformed the surface to their will
They sculpted oceans out of desert space
Flawless design in each detail
(This world was dead from the start)
A formless void
A toxic tempest
A new beginning
Within their hands
No sign of life
A million miles away from home
No light to guide
Transplanting the seeds of hope
They carved the rivers out of dust
Transplanted forests where they stand
Broke up the fallow planet's crust
Injected life into the land
No way to see it then
No way to predict
Hidden beneath the skin
The host could not detect
No way to see it then
No way to predict
Hidden beneath the skin
The host could not detect
There is a curse above the water
And now it lives within us all
It is a blight that will devour
It will devour us all
Lost forever
Lost inside our own...
Flesh
Flesh
No sign of life
No light to guide
