Grow! Rise! Fall! Die!
Grow! Rise! Fall! Die!
Grow! Rise! Fall! Die!
Grow! Rise! Fall!
Idleness and ignorance
Can't justify this arrogance
A degeneration inquisition
Stealing your will to strive
Pressure pushing out your ribs
Expanding tight against the skin
A pressing pain within your skull
Eyelids inverted
A veil, a shield, a life, withheld
Each step, a world unknown
A force, a flame, a life revealed
Move onwards! Onwards! Onwards! Onwards!
The unease in the chest, a tear in spacetime
The arrow moving onwards towards the end of life
The pressure in your skull that forces out your eyes
A terror in the chemistry that we call life
Forwards! The stricken cry, crushed by the weight of time
Extinguish the light, a brief candle in emptiness
Response and rewards, misdirection and guilt
Keep you living for death, keep you focused on dying
A veil, a shield, a life, withheld
Each step, a world unknown
It's in your skull, tied in your brain
You know it's a lie, just a part of a stage unseen
It's burning in your lungs, your tongue speaks fire
Words that could throw the world upon a funeral pyre
The skin should not contain us, but the body fails and dies
The energy within us must dissipate in time
So burn a flame eternal, so burn a flame for life
As those who would contain us would rather see it die
The skin is not enough, to contain the hell within
Serve like a dog in heaven or burn and rule in hell
If it's all just a part of a game, the author's unseen
There's a promise of something the flesh can't contain
A desire for purpose where chaos still reigns
Yet there's still those who'd douse all the flames
Their worship obscene
On the backs of dead giants
speak names of the dead
Spoken in tongues of reverence
A worship of lifelessness
On this tiny speck in the heavens
Riding the crest of a great stellar tide
Down filaments of gravity and time
The skin cannot contain us, the skin is not enough
And even, in death, we exist in solar breath
A force, a flame, a life revealed
A force, a flame, a life revealed
A force, a flame, a life revealed
A force, a flame, a life revealed
A force, a flame, a life revealed
A force, a flame, a life revealed
A force, a flame, a life revealed
A force, a flame, a life revealed
