lyrics

A Society Lives In
The Comfort Of Its Intellect
The House That
Humankind Built
Abode Of Sleeping Spirits
Placing Trust In
The Security Of Society
“This Was Made With
Our Bare Hands
No God Needed To Spin
The Wheels Of The Machine”

But When The Machine
Begins To Fail
The Façade Of Security
Fading Away
All You Thought You Knew
Slipping Through Your Fingers
Reevaluate What
You Were Taught
What You Accepted
The Folly Of Your Hubris
Brings Destruction
All The World Mourns

The Earth Pregnant
With Plagues And Pestilence
Birth Pangs, Its Pain
Becomes Your Own
You Look For Answers
In The Hands Of The Ones
You Put So Much Trust In

(But They Are
Just As Lost As You
Unable To Perceive What’s
Beyond Their Own Eyes
Their Narrow Vision
Is Your Truth
These Are The Ones
You Worship
But Your Gods Can Die
And They Will)

As The End Approaches
There Is A Great Awakening
The Masses Cry Out To The God
They Claimed Was False
But The Living God
Will Be Their Only Hope
The Life Of Comfort You Once Knew
Is Just A Memory

The House Shattered
And Broken Down
There Is No Place
To Lay Your Head
And Hope Is All
You Have To Hold On To

Break Free From The
Carnal Lies That Hold You
Break The Chains Binding You
To This Earthly Realm
Awaken, Oh Sleeper
And Open Your Eyes
The Answers You Seek
Are All Around You
The Answers You Seek Are
Right In Front Of Your Face

Croyez-le ou non, j'ai écouté cet album en intégralité, et sans interruption ! Si, si, je vous assure ! Bon, d'accord, j'avoue que j'ai pensé à deux ou trois reprises à appuyer sur pause, histoire de souffler un peu. J'ai même prié à un moment pour qu'il y ait une coupure de courant, trouvant ainsi le prétexte idéal... mais non ; d'une traite vous dis-je ! Le pire dans tout ça, c'est que je ne regrette même pas. Incorrigible le type ! Poesy Rider
