This Godless Endeavor:
|
|
And on the open road we came to a sign
|
For it was foretold that the weak would inherit
|
And nothing would change
|
Here we are at the crossroads, standing face to back
|
Still afraid to see our eyes
|
I feel helpless and alone, trapped on the third stone
|
|
Sitting here sideways on a cold stone floor
|
My guitar gently bleeding and wanting more
|
When I heard a sound come rapping, tapping on my door
|
|
Hello, I¡¯m happy to meet you
|
In your confidence is it safe?
|
Sit down I¡¯m happy to greet you
|
To feed your greedy dog at the edge of the stage?
|
But before, before you slam the door
|
Tell me when, tell me why, tell me what this fucking life is for
|
We fly through this godless endeavor
|
We try to explain the black forever
|
|
I feel helpless and alone, trapped on the third stone
|
|
I feel permanently stoned, this godless endeavor the only cage I¡¯ve known
|
|
Our organic equation has shown it¡¯s flaw
|
Can we agree to disagree on the concept of god?
|
As I lifted up my brother he said to me
|
¡°Abandon naive realism, surrender thought in cold precision¡±
|
|
I feel empty and deranged, denied one last epiphany and ushered from the stage
|
|
Thou shalt not question, the role of science is not to eliminate god
|
As alternative gods multiply science stands accused of theocide
|
Consume, conform
|
|
The children sitting in the trees, they turn to laugh at me
|
They tell me that I¡¯m insane, but in my mind I know I¡¯m to blame
|
Alone within my lunacy, dementia fills the void within me
|
No testament, prayer or diseased lament can heal my wounds
|
They are so discontent
|
|
All the faithful fall onto their knees
|
And praise the priests of industrial disease
|
|
We contemplate oblivion as we resonate our dissonance
|
In godless random interpretation
|
The universe still expands, mankind still can¡¯t understand
|
How to define you, so hide your face and watch us exterminate ourselves over you
|
Welcome to the end my friend, the sky has opened
|
