Ancestor

Protector… of the darkness in all hearts

The contradiction pacifies

The scope of tyrants, panoramic now

As lies fall from a bastard’s crooked mouth

The golden era, bloodstained and wrong

The way it has been, all along

The numbers rising, the names have changed

All else the same. Ancestor

Eyes carved in stone, can not reveal

Human feces smeared across our frail divinity

Forever….our own worst enemy

High priests and traders, prey on the weak

The exploitation of what you believe

The choice of hunger or slavery

The truth is that the ways of old are hardly gone

The oppressed still scream the song…

The way it has been, all along

The numbers rising, the names the same

Nothing has changed. Ancestor

Contagious ignorance, your promise is defiled

Amnesiac, repeat the past, again

Again and again and again

Ancestor

First. Last. Only
