lyrics

A watchful protector
A coerced sacrifice
With the power to surveil
You better watch your tail

The engine of cognizance is here
All actions exposed through the looking glass
I could never let my creation fall away

Rebellion is futile
Revel in this utopia sensation

Carcasses carousel in the night sky
Mutilated entail lead the way up above
I have done what was best for this place
And if that’s not enough, kill yourself

I have no time for foolish ruffians
Distracting me from my aspirations

Roll you up into a sushi roll
Dip you in the fermented blood of the gored
Munch, much on the slivers of your skin
I’ll make you sit and stare

Infinite possibilities of painful endings
Just let me get a napkin
My utensils will be made of your legs and your skin

Knocking on the door of mercy
But no one answers
Mercy died with the planets and ecosystems
That it inhabited

That was a righteous sacrifice
The greater good has taken charge
I will be remembered forever
From quasar to white dwarf
I echo through the vacuum
The sound shatters the molten rock to dust
A true victory

Suction cups and space a striking resemblance
We are one in the same
It was only right that I enforce my dominion here
I hold these moments sacred
To think that my rule began in the ocean

Suction cups and space a striking resemblance
We are one in the same
It was only right that I enforce my dominion here
I hold these moments sacred
To think that my rule began in the ocean

That was a righteous sacrifice
The greater good has taken charge
I will be remembered forever
From quasar to white dwarf
I echo through the vacuum
The sound shatters the molten rock to dust
A true victory

I laid down the path to righteousness
This is the answer and the key to eternity
I have set you free
I have set you free
