Day one of glee since the new gods came

And they're building up the walls

Where the offer is made

There's no way but ours

And it's come time to pray

Bathed in the glow of the cold machine

We're the heirs to all we touch

Independent preapproved thoughts

Made manifest, rid of the brain

The years course through these veins

No more promises from god

Waiting

And who can say what lies beyond

Hands in the darkened corners find their way

Not for heavenly highs

Not for earthly escapes

Searching for parallel truths, passing through

All the while we knew:

Man or god, it's all the same

Faith with different names

In a quest to fill the blanks

We forget ourselves

Over your heads, the ever-promised doom

Stray and you're gone forever

So bow your heads to the one who writes the rules

No more promises from god

Waiting

And who can say what lies beyond

Am I insane or just finding my way

Not for pleasures divine

Not for treasures mundane

Searching for parallel truths, coming to

Vision clear and true
