1. BEAR WITNESS (TO THE VOID)

Marching on
To the beat of ancient delusion
Forever confused
Forever refused
By powers we hold so dear

Always searching
And firmly denying solution
The evil we bear
And good that we share
That burden is ours alone

Through ages of peace
And ages of war
There’s one constant folly
We cannot control
Some call it a devil
Some call it a god
It gives us excuse
To spill each other’s blood

Miracles of creation
And apes of evolution
The battles rage on
But war can’t be won
For prize means less than the fight

Science cannot explain
Why we cling on to superstition
It gives us mere toys
While under our nose
The madmen preach and witches burn

When you lie awake at night
And reflect on your mortality
You come to the brink of unending abyss
Your mind is screaming for the vision to stop
Lest you fall

There is no hell
And there is no heaven
There’s you and there’s me
And what we’re creating
The universe is deaf and blind
Its only witness is your own mind

It’s right in front of your eyes
Simple truth that terrifies

Bear witness to the void
