Undergrowth

Way down below
Forgotten and ignored
By our neon leaders
Our souls have run dry
Now left to die in the undercity
We dwell in the shadows, waiting, plotting the day of our reckoning
No path leads back into the castle in the sky

I never thought it would come this far
The weight of shame bows my head
Seeds of lies secretly kept
Like a wish upon a dying star
Now we're facing thought extinction
But the serene soil is cleansing me
Marching forth towards redemption
Lights the spark I always failed to see

And then a voice began to grow
By the hands of a thousand
And it breaks right through the ceiling
Of a crumbled house
That now feels like home
Echoes of the rumbling earth
Shake the crown they took from us
We are the harvest that you can not reap
These roots run deep
You can't stop the undergrowth

Choked out the voice that was guiding me
A devilish make believe
They'll try to lure you in
Subdue the truth
Don't let 'em catch your mind
With an offer you can't
An offer you can't refuse
Blegh
Liars
Deceivers
Greed without remorse

And then a voice began to grow
By the hands of a thousand
And it breaks right through the ceiling
Of a crumbled house
That now feels like home
Echoes of the rumbling earth
Shake the crown they took from us
We are the harvest that you can not reap
These roots run deep
You can't stop the undergrowth

Rise!
Our vines plunge deep into the heart
Of a hollow leviathan
Slowly we feed off of the ashes
For the time of man has come

The seed you've sown
Grows fast on blood and bone
Devoured by your own
It's a devil you should know
The seed you've sown
Grows fast on blood and bone
Devoured by your own
It's a devil you should know

The future before us
Under the light on the surface
The signs were there you should've seen it
Buried under the dirt we kept dreaming
The future before us
Under the light on the surface
Now that there's nothing to stop us
I hope we can practice temperance
