From the Sky and into a Vessel

lyrics

Rained down with the meteors
Third storm in as many days
A sense of loss, a sense of the void
Set out on a darkened path
The drenching essence had many ways
Imposed its sense while demanding praise
Covered Earth secretly in glorified misery
Took away from the free all the choice and instinct
Made them bleed, made new creeds, made them see through their dreams
Made blank slates, designed self rape, subconsciously
Before human consciousness, before the bright dawn
Before civilized notions had been self-righteously spawned
Waiting to be unleashed, building strength to release its decree
Of resentment, of torture, of hatred as unity
An unknown birth somewhere in the desert of the first zeitgeist
The first consciousness to bear the mark of the mind heist
Any symbol carved into the flesh could eventually be seen
So a branding of new character had to suffice
And like rats the beliefs did breed
From the womb of discomfort came the disciples
They, the future-less
Spread far and wide, new leaders came and died
And the remnants of the spiritual plague further corrupted human kind
The ears who heard the essence proselytize
Ensured it would survive
Naivety made them easy to control
All blind men wander between flashes of lightning never seen
Never finding
Covered Earth secretly in glorified misery
Took away from the free all the choice and instinct
Made them bleed, made new creeds, made them see through their dreams
Made blank slates, designed self rape, subconsciously
