lyrics

Gunnin’ thru the night
Scaring all the glowing eyes from the cold roadside
Do you delight?
Knowing that the path ahead has never been read

In years before, in woodsman’s lore
There stood a mare, in white, declared

This isn’t right
I see that all deployed will be destroyed
There’ll be a fight
To which all employed will be cast to the void

In infinite and silent space
We will come together to form a place

Where human kind will be no more
Our earthly bodies held closed the doors
We’ll form as one as the beads are strung
The energies of a million years
Of life and death and countless fears

Do you comply?
With this prophecy of our reality
It is a lie
Our human path is not to last
It is to die
To be free from hate and earthly constraints
We will unite
As a celestial soul out of our control

And the feelings of this genesis
Like born again to forever exist

Where human kind will be no more
Our earthly bodies held closed the doors
Well form as one as the beads are strung
The energies of a million years
Of life and death and countless fears
