Altar of Mirrors

Fall from grace
A time that came before
Sunlit higher thoughts
All erased
Just empty subroutines
A burning heart stripped away

Black sun sets through the smoke above the skyline
Broken hearts, burning dreams
The city breathes on the altar of mirrors
All is never as it seems

The fading murder of these ancient memories
Chaos heart left to rot
But one dark day you know they will come to find you
I was a fool to trust in locks

But I

I will never be your fucking slave
No I

I won’t live my life that way

Blinded and burning
Numbers you can’t understand
Simulation brings release
Repeat preset motions
To try to see the meaning
Pattern matching on your knees

But I

I will never be your fucking slave
No I

I won’t live my life that way

No
Upgrade to a better lie
In my heart I still defy
Upgrade to a better lie
No

God, money, blood, money
God, money, blood

I

I will never be your fucking whore
No I

I won’t do this anymore

No

Upgrade to a better lie
In my heart I still defy
Upgrade to a better lie
No
