Distracted In Tragedies

Cosmic bodies
Lie dormant on high
Statues rotting
Forgotten to time
Burning temples
Replaced by fascades
Scriptures haunting
The truth in the lie
In the lie

Sifting through the ruins for some sort of clue
To find for myself some semblance of truth
But overhead a burning and underfoot a flood
Our creation myth undone

We, we are the haunters in the dark
An unwanted legacy
Just an accidental drop into the primal sea
Now disturbing the dreams
Of some ancient god
Who was once asleep, now thirsty for blood

And now our tragic ending
We do humbly invoke
By fear of our failure
Stones still left unturned cannot be thrown

And so we take what we want
In this garden's decay
And we will eat from the fruit
And proudly bare the burdens of our fate

Cosmic bodies
Now raging on high
Statues rotting
Rebuilt in new times
Burning temples
Encased in fascades
Scriptures haunted
By truth in their lies
In their lies

And all our lives will fade
They'll slowly fade away
They'll wax and they'll wane
Towards a sure and certain grave
Our lives will fade
They'll surely fade away
As they wax and wane
Toward their new celestial grave

This life's the one where I'll find it
And take it with me on the day I die
This life's the one where I'll find it
And leave this curse behind I hope

At least that's what I hope
But nothing's guaranteed
For me
If this is what you want then
I can always set you free

Cosmic bodies
Lie dormant on high
Statues rotting
Forgotten to time
