We dream of places we can't get to

We crawl, we swim, it's neverending

The crests of tidal waves are raging

The bitter lake is ever changing



A conscious ocean covered planet

Of memories flooding back to drown me

Uncertain lost in deep confusion

Is this the past that's passing through me?



Close your eyes

Stand your ground

Face the wind

Never looking back



The ancient prophecy unfolded

Distracted minds ignored the warnings

Confronting facts to prove the fiction

Right to the point of mass extinction



We flirted with the edge of darkness

Offered ourselves unto the harvest

The shepherd led, we blindly followed

Into the world of no tomorrow



Break me down to pieces

And strip me of my freedom

I fall back on my instincts

But never know the reason why



All hope disappearing

Gives the power of healing

I'll walk among the breathing

But never understand what it means



We need a story to believe in

We need a hero to prevail



Our design shifted frame by frame

Across the line our cycle starts to fail

Our design shifted frame by frame

Across the line we die to live again



We need a story to believe in

We need a hero to prevail

We need a challenge we can overcome

It takes a tragedy to make us one
