​iodbc - The Black Box
R E Q U I E M
As the entropy of the world continues and never ceases
I seek the answer to reverse this dread
The clock tower will chime once again, as it always has
And I close up the many tomes of which I have read

Surrender yourself and relinquish your qualms
The quasi-immortals will take on the fall
Be true to yourself and stay human as you've always been

Surrender the world to the heavenly drum
Our dishonored ancestors battle it all
Be true to yourself and stay human as you've always been

The fight ends tonight and we'll all take the win

Surrender yourself and relinquish your qualms
The quasi-immortals will take on the fall
Be true to yourself and stay human as you've always been

Surrender the world to the heavenly drum
Our dishonored ancestors battle it all
Be true to yourself and stay human as you've always been

Forever and ever I cherish your love even if it seems we're distant
I seek the answer to unlock your heart
The clock tower will never again make the sound of time
The many cracks which plague the world grow again and we break apart
The only thing that I desire at all is the power to rewind again to the very first hour
The dawn of man, the start of time, the year before the darkness could devour
I take my fate right up into my own hand, I straighten up and I make my stand
The death of man, the end of time, the year that now the darkness can devour
Before the last light will twinkle and fade I make sure that our destiny will never wade
Rebirthing man, rewinding time, the year that darkness will never devour
And as I hold on to my sword and I fight I promise myself that I'll end it tonight
The fate of man, the course of time, will this be the the year that darkness can devour?

Be true to yourself and stay human as you've always been
Be true to yourself and stay human as you've always been
Be true to yourself and stay human as you've always been
Be true to yourself and stay human as you've always been

Surrender yourself and relinquish your qualms
The quasi-immortals will take on the fall
Be true to yourself and stay human as you've always been

Surrender the world to the heavenly drum
Our dishonored ancestors battle it all
Be true to yourself and stay human as you've always been

Be true to yourself and stay human as you've always been
