Fear drove us

into dismay

Assured of our purpose

by Matrioshka Brain

Dendrochronic bloodshed

is utterly connate

Build the gift of mercy

to outrun our fate

What have we done?

Twisted into what we feared

Algol's laughter echos on

What have we won?

Cursed silence, lonely peace

At what cost? The cosmos loss

From lightyears away

we witness the weight of our sin

So goddamn possessed, by these circular tests

Victim of the sickness, the old wounds dig us in

Cursed mandate from the start

A world torn asunder from within

What's progress worth to the trauma you've endured?

we cower before a mirror of cold obsidian

You never asked for this

Borderlined synapses try to scream

This poison in your mind has robbed your reason blind

Endless summer stolen by selfish scarcity

Cursed mandate from the start

A world torn asunder from within

What's progress worth to the trauma you've endured?

we cower before a mirror of cold obsidian

My species rots in hell

We'll answer for our crimes

undoing all their progress

in exchange for useless lives

A pox upon the universe

the stars are growing dim

We resurrected long lost hate

You'll suffer for our sins
