lyrics

Time has faded into a void
Faces blur into one
Those around me lost in their tracks
I am soon to follow

No choices led me here
I was born to be a slave
Flesh and bones turned to a machine
The cycles never end

Hearts beating to feed the gears
Another pulse bolsters the damned
Minds and souls are left behind
What’s left is only greed

Embers neath my skin
Set ablaze my disdain

Bent on rupture
Morals disintegrated
Grinding hands
Channeling darkness towards
Mother’s lingering womb

Burning deep within
I embrace the flame
Used till I am ashes
I am one in many

Relentless hands of smoke
Cast a veil of black
Suffocating seas

Creeping forward
Iconoclast
Licking my lungs
Poisoning every tissue

I have given birth to our death
Sacrificed all that matters
As the flames keep carrying me on
Draining every drop from me

In time, cinders left behind will light up
Faded, my remains will feed a new machine
Burn bright

The will is broken, torn
My shadow has proclaimed itself
As my master

I have persevered through all
Standing at the highest point
Carved a lifetime of pain and guilt
For a grand insignificance

Embers neath my skin
Set ablaze my disdain

Burning deep within
I embrace the flame
Used till I am ashes
I am one in many
