Once standing over the edge of a pit

I have now fallen apart, bit by bit

Once standing over the edge of a pit

I have now fallen apart, bit by bit

Looking over mankind, crawling in its mud

Frustrated by the withering of Brahms's bud

But I'm being reborn from my ashes

I have reached understanding

And after my fall came our winter

A promising sprout was fading

Rise Grow Collapse Wilt

Grotesque caricature of human's pathetic downfall

You crave and beg, too lazy to merit

Your wretched confusion between necessity and desire

Turned you into the most pitiful of all creatures

You could have become a god-like being

But you are a self-centered and ingrate offspring

And you bare your teeth towards evolution

Rise Grow Collapse Wilt

Grotesque caricature of human's pathetic downfall

Once standing over the edge of a pit

I have now fallen apart, bit by bit

Looking over mankind, crawling in its mud

Frustrated by the withering of Brahms's bud
