Rebirth in the Stars

from Saturnian by Obsidian Skies

/

lyrics

I stand here
Among the dreams of a thousand men
Why have I been chosen to ascend
While the masses writhe in fire
The torment of this loss is not quelled
By our grand rebirth in the stars

Men of the Earth now lost
Have our wounds been healed by time?
Though the years have passed
I still see the faces of those we left
And as we pretend to thrive
One billion miles from our pain
I feel my rage arise
And I fear the walls are closing in

I know this -
Our chance at peace is dead
And this facade of great virtue
Begins to sicken me
So burn it

What fresh hell is this?
We are trapped in a cage
Beleaguered on all sides
By vicious murderers and thieves
I would see no more of this
We’ve all suffered enough
Let us bring this chaos down
Order begins now

Raze it to the ground
It cannot grow darker than it is now
Bleed, you callous carrion
We bring justice to the murderer’s crown

I know this -
Your treachery has brought
Discord upon that which
Saved us all
Now we will end this

The light returns
The fires die
Now join me and hail the dawn

I live yet, and still breathe
There is no darkness
But all the color is gone
I see naught but
Endless waves of grey

Trust in us, you shall not die
Perform your duty, you shall not want
Everything is under control
We have paired you with another
To ensure idyllic life
Everything is under control
Do not stray
We have made perfection real
Now trust in us

Men of the Earth now lost
How bleak have your lives now grown?
All risk and reward has gone
We simply comply and carry on
Where does emotion hide
In this poor rendition of a life?
I suspect I will be silenced soon
But ideas are not so easily quelled

I know this -
Breath does not make a life
I have felt nothing so long
Yet now I fill with rage
So burn it.
