Memnor - III: Infancy Lyrics

All the souls we couldn't save
Droplets in a tidal wave
Grains of sand falling past
A desert in an hourglass
Stars inside a galaxy
Days until eternity
All as one one and all
Cells comprise an animal

Motionless in a trance
Victims of a circumstance
Rising up from the dirt
Ever reaching heavensward
Growing tall
Climbing high
Closer to the sky
Pulsing signals
Through the wire
Embers in a forest fire

Unlike all we've ever seen
Their heartbeats hum as one machine
An ever growing colony
Of footfalls in a great stampede
Many bodies
Single mind
Working as a hive
How they all came to be
Raging as a conscious sea

There must be a fatal flaw
In our grand design
Something's pushing back this time

What are you waiting for?
Hold the line
And brace yourself against the coming tide

Someone
Out there
Waiting for us

Patients
In there
Need our help

There is
Nothing
Only here and now

This place
Unlike
Any other

My god
How long
Have they been?

Stop this
Madness
There is only this

Broke new ground
Still don't know
How far we've come
How deep this goes

Stop these
Voices
Don't you know that

We could
Never
Speak to them

Stranger
Demon
I won't let you

Skyward
Facing
Calling to us

Faithless
Evil
In the sky

Believer
Heathen
There must be another way

Traveller your time has come
Hear my voice and writhe as one
Brace against the coming storm
Come to us and join the swarm
There will never be another one

Harken to the voices of the sun
People of a world unlike this one
Could it be so bad to run from fear?
Running from the past has brought me here

All I want is truth and meaning
Something greater to believe in
This could be the way to freedom
I've been longing for

Leave it behind and disavow
It's all you need no matter how
This is your family now

If I could be at one with all that I can see
And live inside this world for all eternity
And even leave behind that cruel reality
Drifting
Lost in
A fantasy

I place
My faith
In your grace
And the words
Of a stranger
Trust this light
Cast doubt aside
And take my hand
The time for fear is over

Am I the only one
Who wonders what we are?
It may be fake
But that I'm certain that we are

We are

If nothing else can stir them
Or climb behind the eyes
We can send a message
With an artificial mind
Build to see beyond the veil
What's on the other side
A raindrop in the hurricane
A window to the outside

Am I the only one
Who wonders what they are?
It may be faint
But that I'm certain that they are

There's a new light in the sky
Moving far too fast
Like nothing we have seen before
On all our ages past
A warning that it's over?
A sign for us to flee?
Or a supernova
In it's infancy
