lyrics

Ambivalent creation
Of a divine will
You are the servant of evil

Do not ignore your lust for power
Come now, join us in this slaughter

Defend us,
O creature, this foundling
Naked, thrashing and screaming
This being will guide us to our destiny
Sit upon the horizon
Function according to our design

Concealed thoughtlessness
Constrained callousness
Envision peace in this time
Through blood soaked eyes
Slave to be mastered
Power to be tapped
Grotesquely conjured of lies
Through blood soaked eyes

Our work, our goal
May be completed
We may break the walls
And leave here

If you can accept these curses
Ascend to your ancient timeless purpose

Discarded, desperate
Not one of us
A vile form that disgusts us

Desired only for its potential
Anything less demands we kill

Concealed thoughtlessness
Constrained callousness
Envision peace in this time
Through blood soaked eyes
Slave to be mastered
Power to be tapped
Grotesquely conjured of lies
Through blood soaked eyes

Celestial glory
For the taking
Unleash a storm
Of your making

It looks upon us
Twisted face and hateful scowl
Does it see itself in us
It reaches out as if to call
Aspects of man
In form and stance
Dare we approach
This mournful form
Should we destroy it
Is it one of our own?

Does it seek to learn, or only to grow
Forced evolution in a dripping maw
To be filled with recycled flesh
When there is nothing left, condemn it to death
Or put it to work

It moves mountains by force
through the air it can fly
It can touch the heart of lightning
Can nothing lead it to die?

It belongs in our order
It was only made
Knowledge distressing
Never-born will it believe

That the air is ruled by monsters
That scorch and break the sky
Who boil the sees to poison
Who gorge and bleed the ground

This creature is part of it
Both want it as theirs
Both sides seek dominion
Neither to repair

A greatness I feel inside myself
I could rule from a throne on high
Make the clouds my castle
power tempting, I can't deny

It is out empyrean quest
to make sense of dire chaos
Claim it now, before it's too late
Around your throat tightens
the grip of fate
