lyrics
as a church bell rings,
a promise of better things,
would you say a prayer to mechanical gods?
at the end of it all, do you pray awake,
on your knees at a crooked altar?
well I've cut and I've sliced, more stains for the knife,
but I can't find the answer.
maybe it's lost so long ago,
when my heart became a hole,
a vaccuum for all my sin.
so as the clock rots the day,
I'm devising new ways,
so that I can remain, so that I can sustain,
and to stay on the stage, as I cut, and I cut, and I cut, and replace,
and as the ediface dies, where is the soul?
life goes too quickly,
the light abandons you,
and as the church tells the story,
the devil takes his due.
repent for salvation,
and break down on your knees,
but as machinery sustains,
there's never time to bleed.
(the devil will be me)
God may well condemn me,
for the monster that I am,
so if I'm cursed and I'm forsaken,
am I not all that is man?
and if I'm fixed with new machinery,
divinity controlled,
am I retrofitting blasphemy,
where is my soul?
a promise of better things,
would you say a prayer to mechanical gods?
at the end of it all, do you pray awake,
on your knees at a crooked altar?
well I've cut and I've sliced, more stains for the knife,
but I can't find the answer.
maybe it's lost so long ago,
when my heart became a hole,
a vaccuum for all my sin.
so as the clock rots the day,
I'm devising new ways,
so that I can remain, so that I can sustain,
and to stay on the stage, as I cut, and I cut, and I cut, and replace,
and as the ediface dies, where is the soul?
life goes too quickly,
the light abandons you,
and as the church tells the story,
the devil takes his due.
repent for salvation,
and break down on your knees,
but as machinery sustains,
there's never time to bleed.
(the devil will be me)
God may well condemn me,
for the monster that I am,
so if I'm cursed and I'm forsaken,
am I not all that is man?
and if I'm fixed with new machinery,
divinity controlled,
am I retrofitting blasphemy,
where is my soul?
