lyrics

All of your life you've been unable to find
A meaning or purpose to being alive
Maybe you should succumb to hivemind
In the idea of comfort you dive

Life in this universe is valuable
Selfish of you to think of death
As a means of becoming knowledgeable
But the wisdom you seek governs only in death

You build up your walls, they'll tear them again
To see you try and struggle in vain
Your fortress is conquered, your flag is aflame
Your head's on the block
You look in disdain, at what was your life
A feeling of shame
Pulses through what once were your veins
This mortal carcass cannot withstand
The tests and trials of life's final plan
All in the end will bow their heads
And beg to be spared by those who once cared
They'll look at the sky and cry with resign
To whoever is up there for one final try

At whatever cost we keep pushing through
Clinging to the chance of seeing this through
The slaughter of self, the damnable fake
The pyre on which you will be laid
The feeling of comfort and false self-proclaim
Are proven to you to be all in vain

All you stood for succumbs to the weight of life
All you achieved buried in the sands of time
They are all part of the hive
The endless consumption of human life

Finally we must accept that we're all prone to change
Nothing we build will ever remain untouched and the same
Innocence - the illusion and dream of the blind
In the end, life is just a wargame of the mind
