Hiveminds (De Brevitate Vitae)

For the nights that we wasted A crawling force starts to drain All the nights that we wasted Will dine again on our fears Staring at a broken cross, stepping into a cave Deep down in the dirt, we'll never see the light again Feed us with your pain, out in the cold Deep down in the dirt, no echoes from the earth Defined by their tails, older than man's tale They're storming, they live once again, again Silence above our heads, no recognition Defined by their tails, older than man's tale They're storming, they see once again, again Hear the call of what's been banned And rest in deception Better wait, better wait, here we wander Spies and flies are gazing upon us Better wait, better wait, here we wander But we gave our eyes to a dead sun, boy Is that all there is? No more kisses or goodbies It's going to end now, boy And that's all there is And that's all The birth of a child The sky of our world So hold me back for a while And tell me for what it's worth The birth of a child The sky's about to break for the years that will follow So hold me tight for a while I'm scared of losing faith in what we have sworn on And cold is the night So pierce through my fears, down Conscience over our visions Distant years, when life seemed clear The passion and hunger for more Still we make the same mistakes Well, I guess that Life takes its toll Unknown fate has no shape I can't escape, can't escape Unknown fate has no shape I can't escape, can't escape Hunted, we hide and dissent We'll walk over them, better end this We'll walk over The hundred times they tried to steal our names in vain and hide their grime An illusion that fades, no better ways, sometimes all you want is just to stay awake Misunderstood from the first day we were born How I wish I could take it apart, call out our names, question it all: let us be safe Conscience over our visions We do it all again Conscience over our visions We do it all again Like trees in flames Free me, out of the dark For the night is not over As you fade from my heart Now I'm free from my failures And we'll see with our eyes Now I'm free from my failures And we'll see with our eyes Now I'm free Now I'm free Now I'm free For the nights that we wasted A crawling force starts to drain All the nights that we wasted Will dine again on our fears Staring at a broken cross, stepping into a cave Deep down in the dirt, we'll never see the light again Feed us with your pain, out in the cold Deep down in the dirt, no echoes from the earth We found ourselves in a crowded room Looking into each other's eyes and thought it was alright The script never changes, the rules still the same No ashes to honour, no time, no names, nobody there Many in one and all together at the same time We roam around consuming it all, there's no logic We've lost our way, we don't have a compass and the hardest part is to admit We don't care anymore We have become the jailers and slaves of our own kind Feasting upon greed and becoming the hivemind.
