A legacy of blasphemy
Shrinking window for the age of man
Watch him slide into the primordial sea
No hand to aid, the afflicted and the afraid
Shrouded god in the blind citadel averts its gaze
No master plan, no grand design
No fate but what we deign to make
No watchful eye to track our deeds
Hide not your head, turn not your eyes
Be here right now to witness your works in flames
Hide not thyself in clouds
Hide not from our searching eyes
As every monument
To your misdeeds
Shall be returned to the sea
And every construct
Of your control
Excised from history
So we reclaim
Our lives and fates
And those of your despised
Your ivory tower
A sarcophagus
In which we bury your lies
When all is done
When the heavens weep
When our blood nourishes the Earth
Will you lay down
Your false wisdom
That disguised your apathy?
