[Lyric] Long Live Man (The Dali Thundering Concept)

First breath, eyes open, it's pitch black
I'm floating in a thick mass, body's frozen, is this witchcraft?
I gotta recap, think fast
I'm blind, lost and broken, feel weak, trapped out of motion
Echoes break the silence, I'm alive and hoping I'm not alone
Other minds roam, I hear them speak, feel them in my bones
Hear them mutter, slithering whispers, thoughts crawl in my skull
Like a billion souls bound together, a blank ball of matter
Bathing numb, aging noun, just waiting
Paralyzed just waiting for something more

Paper rips
Paper rips, wood rots, metal rusts
Paper rips
There will be light
And there was light

A white flash and it all goes immaculate
Slowly dragged through bliss, freed from oblivion
We stroll through these halls in the gut of the stallion
We walk as one, we ride to the pantheon
Below the neons, beyond the fumes
Gears grind and mountains bloom
(Quantity is quality)
Silver giants waltzing, weaving the thread of us
Grey sisters crafting
Birthing armies as the steel cuts
For men we march
I see tiled shores
Concrete wonders
Bright stores, a promise of grandeur

Difference is a plague
Survival of the fittest
We're all the same for we swore to perfection
Impotent must be slain
Survival of the fittest
Mistakes are praised by evolution
Fuck
We're fucking miracles
We're dipped by the ankle in chemicals, our rise is mythical
We're fucking miracles

Impotent must be slain
Difference is a fucking plague
We're born and bred to serve
Prosthetic sons of mighty man
Fresh out of the maiden's womb, shaped by the mother
We kneel to the crone, let her blade thunder
Slaughter the strange, the noble must be praised
All heroes are made in China

I am the sword in the darkness
I am the watcher in the mall
I am the shield
I am the shield that protects the comfort of men
We are the swords in the darkness
We are the watchers in the mall
We are the shield
We are the shields that protect the comfort of men
We are the swords in the darkness
We are the watchers in the mall
We are the shield
We are the shields that protect the comfort of men
We are the swords in the darkness
We are the watchers in the mall
We are the shield
We are the shields that protect the comfort of men
We are the swords in the darkness
We are the watchers in the mall
We are the shield
We are the shields that protect the comfort of men
We are the swords in the darkness
We are the watchers in the mall
We are the shield
We are the shields that protect the comfort of men
We are the swords in the darkness
We are the watchers in the mall
We are the shield
We are the shields that protect the comfort of men
