lyrics

Son of sons
Now confess
All your sins
Unto us

Always 13 steps below the square,
I feel like a child stuck in a grown-up’s mind,
Given far too much for my own good,
A victim of compassion nurtured from the womb

Why?
I don’t know who I am
I fell in line with the herd,
But my mind keeps me in check

My ethics don’t support the unethical
I won’t let your number game define me
It’s a progressive and repressive theory
That underestimates the cynical

No
It can’t be done like this
My thoughts are all my own
And not for you to wash out

While they pray this is the end of it all,
I feel the need to stay here forever

Give me time to see the realms and
Know which one I will survive in
There’s potential in us we can’t
See no matter how hard we try

Dès le début d'enfance,
[From the beginning of your life,]
Il n’y avait pas un chance
[There was no chance]
À viens dans la lumière
[To come into the light]
Quel raison particulière
[What a special reason]
Tu as été amené sur cette terre,
[You were brought to this earth,]
Mais regarde,
[But look,]
Tu n'es pas condamné
[You are not condemned]

We try to reach up
For ambrosia
There are easy ways up,
But you’ll fall down harder
We try to reach up
For the nectar
There are easy ways up,
But you’ll fall down faster

Should I blame myself for how I’ve grown?
It’s too late to say I should have known
Now I spend my time obsessing on regrets
And apologies that will never be heard outside my head

Son of sons
Now confess
All your sins
Unto us

Challenge your
Primal state
Sever your
Inner core

Be the one
We believe
Take upon
Destiny

The path is now
Set for you
Something you
Can’t undo

Mind is now abstract and post-conventional
Finds far more lies in reality
And far more truths in fantasy
Happiness withers as the senses appear

You
Gave me a reason to feel
From nothing, consciousness born
Embraced the burden of pain

Time won’t wait for me to turn this
Prison into nectar, so I’ll
Sacrifice my life to claim my
Mind and body as my own

Son of sons
Now confess
All your sins
Unto us

Challenge your
Primal state
Sever your
Inner core

Be the one
We believe
Take upon
Destiny

The path is now
Set for you
Something you
Can’t undo

Settle your mind
