Kindly bent to free us
A heart-to-heart farewell
My armor begins to rust
It forms the scrapyard gates to Hell

DNA trapped in ice
Absorbed into a fossil site
My cheek cells traced
To an ancient human figure
Hobbit-sized

Kindly bent to free us
The joy, the sorrow and the pain
Life returns to mother dust
Aboard we sail to sink one day

Beyond mere blood lineage
Or a self-transcending simian
I rise to taste the dawn
And find that love will shine on

Evolution
Beyond rationality
The one solution
To turn my head and imitate the sun
The one who's always been
Has seen much worse than this projection
Persecution, kindly bent to free

Kindly bent to free us
Kindly bent to free us
Kindly bent to free us
Kindly bent to free us
Kindly bent to free us
