The New Eternity

Lyrics

Mother, tell me, why do the waters make us sick?
 Who bleeds the heavens making the clouds rain pestilence?
 Dropping fever, like manna from the morning sky
 Gather your children and hold 'em as they die
 Panic humming in the palm of my hand
 Silent vectors injected with the curse of man
 Bodies dissected, heartbeats redirected
 The past was dead, why did we resurrect it?
 Strange fruit grows on the vine of humankind
 Beneath a bright synthetic sky, I saw the future die
 A web of wires in our mind
 Weaves an empire down our spine
 I fear we've sealed our fate
 There's no escape, there's no escape: the new eternity
 Strange fruit is growing on the vine
 Beneath a bright synthetic sky
 I fear we've sealed our fate
 There's no escape, there's no escape: the new eternity
 Germinating extinction
 ♪
 The people will unite when you dose 'em with fear
 Relinquish their will, let their objections disappear
 Crowds galvanized by vapid words and septic slurs
 Utterly transfixed by the fiction of the "greater good"
 Estranged in this age, we set sail to the stars
 Return to the earth, still unaware of who we are
 We've come too far, we've come too far, we've come too far, it's all I know
 The darkness didn't die, no, we brought it home
 ♪
 I sowed a secret deep in the earth
 But despite the world, it grew, I knew all things could be made new
 All things will be made new
 A web of wires in our mind
 Weaves an empire down our spine
 I fear we've sealed our fate
 There's no escape, there's no escape: the new eternity
 Strange fruit is growing on the vine
 Beneath a bright synthetic sky
 I fear we've sealed our fate
 There's no escape, there's no escape: the new eternity
 Cross the Great Divide and see
 Light and dark collide in me
 Shake the shroud of secrecy
 Uproot the grim hegemony
 The new eternity
