Vortex Veins by Your Hands Write History Lyrics
Can you hear the final breath of the earth dissipating, from the pressure of our vice crushing the life from her lungs?
Can’t you see that there is no excuse to justify, our selfishness is a cancer, a holocaust of all life that can’t be undone
The bones beneath our feet are rotating back and forth, baring the weight of the bloodstains that mark our dying land
The sun above is grieving with tears of fire raining down
As we sever the outstretched roots of those born from different ground
Destroy our borders so love may abound
The vortex in our veins is never satisfied
We are lost in galactic plains longing to be clarified
The maelstrom in our brains, narcissism magnified
Subservient to our own chains this is conglomerate mass suicide
The rocks and trees cry out but we are deaf to their voice
(We consume all that is within view)
The nights relinquished in pursuit of pleasure, corrode our potential virtue in equal measure
The murmur and babble our hearts masticate
As bullets from an emptied gun cannot regurgitate
The venom we drink from the breasts of serpents, pours into our veins like rivers in the ocean
We conceal our nakedness with a shadow’s tongue
Afraid to gaze upon our collapse as we come undone
They say that we are what we consume, and we consume everything in view
A typhlotic earth absorbed in gloom, eclipsed by the carcass of a disloyal moon
We must decrease for you to increase
As we traverse the darkness ahead, forewarned by the guidance of the dead
We will shed the weight of all our fears, forsake our comfort for the obscured
Pursue the pulsing angelic tone, to brave the dominion of the unknown
Echo together we are not alone
Together we are one
Can you hear the newborn’s cry for the resurrection, echoing our union song to restore the wounds of the earth
We are called to place our hands over the scars of mankind, to be the symbiosis of the grave and everlasting light
Can’t you see that there is no excuse to justify, our selfishness is a cancer, a holocaust of all life that can’t be undone
The bones beneath our feet are rotating back and forth, baring the weight of the bloodstains that mark our dying land
The sun above is grieving with tears of fire raining down
As we sever the outstretched roots of those born from different ground
Destroy our borders so love may abound
The vortex in our veins is never satisfied
We are lost in galactic plains longing to be clarified
The maelstrom in our brains, narcissism magnified
Subservient to our own chains this is conglomerate mass suicide
The rocks and trees cry out but we are deaf to their voice
(We consume all that is within view)
The nights relinquished in pursuit of pleasure, corrode our potential virtue in equal measure
The murmur and babble our hearts masticate
As bullets from an emptied gun cannot regurgitate
The venom we drink from the breasts of serpents, pours into our veins like rivers in the ocean
We conceal our nakedness with a shadow’s tongue
Afraid to gaze upon our collapse as we come undone
They say that we are what we consume, and we consume everything in view
A typhlotic earth absorbed in gloom, eclipsed by the carcass of a disloyal moon
We must decrease for you to increase
As we traverse the darkness ahead, forewarned by the guidance of the dead
We will shed the weight of all our fears, forsake our comfort for the obscured
Pursue the pulsing angelic tone, to brave the dominion of the unknown
Echo together we are not alone
Together we are one
Can you hear the newborn’s cry for the resurrection, echoing our union song to restore the wounds of the earth
We are called to place our hands over the scars of mankind, to be the symbiosis of the grave and everlasting light
