lyrics

Say goodbye
Let the preachers tell us we will never die
Take the books from our hands
Look outward to another land
Sign a contract with your god
Let the needles poke and prod

Copy the stars
Clone the beyond
Eternal nothing
Drop in the pond

Thrusters fall forth
Just in the mind
Eyes glued shut
We’re out of time

Systems go dim
Signals dead end
Silence the vacuum
Crushing the bends

Motionless mirror
Glint in the vision
Set course towards light
Worldly decision

Paint every rocky shore
The righteous fall on their swords
Slam my head against the ground
Red falls all around
Vision black, busted lip
My teeth are shattered, crooked grin

False smiles for new dominion
Eternal canvas, no opinion
Comes into focus, there are no creatures
There is no hope, there are no features
Atmosphere makeup is thin
Behold the maker, mime’s crooked grin

Fuel stores run dry and all hope was lost
We went to the heavens but at what cost?
We stared to the black and picked out a glint
We were stamped out quick as steel on flint
Compressed again and life will move on
That’s the way of the great beyond

Copy the stars
Clone the beyond
Eternal nothing
Drop in the pond

Thrusters fall forth
Just in the mind
Eyes glued shut
We’re out of time

Systems go dim
Signals dead end
Silence the vacuum
Crushing the bends

Motionless mirror
Glint in the vision
Set course towards light
Worldly decision

Copy the stars
Clone the beyond
Eternal nothing
Drop in the pond
