As the pious arise to the first of the apertures breathing
Like a stain on the armament weakens the imminent score
There's a trace of decay through each passing day
As the fields of the innocent wane
We grow weary of our inattention to all that remains

We posture to prove that science regards our delusions
As phosphorus memories buried within our design
And as codes are redrawn with each breaking dawn
As we weary ourselves of the task
The tempest we enter can only recapture our minds

And we will overstate our worth
We can devastate the earth
Calamitous, vociferous, and desperate
Over reliance on disdain let the protagonist remain
Abandon all who whisper this refrain

In the absence of truth our fallacies spread like a virus
To the edges of civilizations regarded as pure
And every breach in the fence is the cowards defense
To perpetuate and sterilize
And the apoplectic scions linger on

And we will overstate our worth
We can devastate the earth
Calamitous, vociferous, and desperate
Over reliance on disdain let the protagonist remain
Abandon all who whisper this refrain
May all your benedictions pass
To all the undecided happening too fast
King for one day till there’s no greater debt to pay
Temptations linger and regard us all as one
