lyrics

Come to be devoid of
Our freedom in nature
Blindness and power
Consume all of of our dignity

And only some will stand
To defend the rights of man

Watch as they fall—
All the values that we built our world on
A tale that won't forgive its every curse
Repeated in our insanity,
Shedding virtues with time

But I found a new world,
A world underneath us
They'll call to the surface
And lure us on all our desires

The truth won't save the tribe
Bury where it matters not

Wait anymore
And you'll be weakened to the point of madness,
But come to love this brighter state of mind,
A chance for us to be something else,
You'll become what we all need to be

We've brought upon ourselves
A world of complacency
With standards unrealized
And nothing to rectify
Well if this is what we are,
We'll trample till we retire
On all our civility
Like ashes beneath our feet

We can't understand we're limited

But where are our feelings
When we're under the earth
With new kinds of beings
Who wish to protect
Our individuality
And keep the peace?

We will be the strong
We will be forever
Consciously evolving
Down within these realms,
A place for reinvention
To trust what we've upheld,
Reveling in ardor
