Our Only Way by Exchanger Lyrics
We die because we are weak
Immortal means static
Forced to evolve for other forms
Be faster, or be fed to the worms
The selection needs to be operated
Each generation is put under stress
Those who fail the test, decimated
An endless and merciless process
Our only way to eternity
Is to pass on the flame
But accept that we have to
Fade away into the nothingness
Our petty self-destructive quarrels
Turn out to weigh less in annals
Than devastating epidemies
An empire for a virus species
A broken thread of DNA
Makes the difference between
The revolution or the dismay
Of a whole and entire kin
Our only way to eternity
Is to pass on the flame
But accept that we have to
Fade away
Death strikes a hard bargain
The price just to survive is pain
The result of fighting other life
The outcome of a timeless strife
(Fighting decay with sharp blades)
How to use your energy
You can’t pick a strategy
Only hope you drew the right cards
Just a pawn in a game that discards
Some have set out to be dominators
Non contempt to be mere survivors
They will burden enslave and exploit
Leaving realms crushed burnt and destroyed
We live by the day
We squander away
Irrational minds dictate our ways
Ressources go to waste by the hour
We keep on going
Eventhough we know
It can’t last long
But it's because despite all our tricks
Cheating circumstances
We are still fragile and mortal
Demise lurking about
Powerless against the passing time
Exist, evolve, you don’t have a say
We just fear for ourselves
Our only way to eternity
Is to pass on the flame
But accept that we have to
Fade away
Genetic only information
Doesn’t suffice
Another means of transmission
Is necessary
Immortal means static
Forced to evolve for other forms
Be faster, or be fed to the worms
The selection needs to be operated
Each generation is put under stress
Those who fail the test, decimated
An endless and merciless process
Our only way to eternity
Is to pass on the flame
But accept that we have to
Fade away into the nothingness
Our petty self-destructive quarrels
Turn out to weigh less in annals
Than devastating epidemies
An empire for a virus species
A broken thread of DNA
Makes the difference between
The revolution or the dismay
Of a whole and entire kin
Our only way to eternity
Is to pass on the flame
But accept that we have to
Fade away
Death strikes a hard bargain
The price just to survive is pain
The result of fighting other life
The outcome of a timeless strife
(Fighting decay with sharp blades)
How to use your energy
You can’t pick a strategy
Only hope you drew the right cards
Just a pawn in a game that discards
Some have set out to be dominators
Non contempt to be mere survivors
They will burden enslave and exploit
Leaving realms crushed burnt and destroyed
We live by the day

Irrational minds dictate our ways
Ressources go to waste by the hour
