Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] The pen defines a cold decree To erase ourselves with chemistry Discard the hearts, leave the limestone cold Here's where the truth is bought and sold The microscope distorts all of our grace A cold integer takes each human's place [Pre-Chorus] Entropy climbs through these scattered bones Descending through halls where no light is shown [Chorus] Aaaaaaahhhhhh The Great Divide is carved in scorched earth! Reducing every pulse to the ledger’s worth! Giving up our freedom, we deny our birth! And return our sacred lives back to the dirt! [Verse 2] The Gilded Age returns in caustic incandescence The watchful lens observes the fading essence Label them vermin to justify the blade Masquerades dancing in the void that we made Indifference is the stain upon our souls The quietest way we surrender our control [Bridge] Between the stimulus and the response Lies the internal citadel we must ensconce The last of human freedoms is for us to choose Our spirit is the one thing they cannot bruise! THE TIME HAS COME FOR WHAT WE HAVE TO DO! [Guitar and Piano Solo] [Chorus] Aaaaaaahhhhhh The Great Divide is carved in scorched earth! Care for every pulse, screw the ledger’s worth! Reclaim the soul in a second birth! Let us break the cycle, put things in reverse! [Outro] Oooooh [Whispered] "The salvation of man is through love and in love." "I pray you, never, never give up." "Never give up" [End]
