[Verse 1] 10,000 BC, remembered in spear tips and bone Explain away what some claim is vague and unknown We have grown and disowned ourselves completely Slaves to the ways we perceive ourselves uniquely Sabre-toothed tiger survivors Alive and thriving in the taiga Like a man without a line to be tied to Before borders and torture and wars There was importance First order, Biological. Don’t die. Endurance Determined to do better, a competitive edge Over the predators, inventions that prevented our deaths The breath of life – technological, philosophical A chronicle of methodical progression Through the possible Hostile earth farming stopped the wandering tribes Who settled together for a better chance to provide The birth of a lie, we were divided by illusion Civilization is the first proof of evolution [Chorus] We've come too far to say that nothing’s been produced We've come too far to say that nothing is the truth You can have your own opinions You can’t have your own facts We've heard the lies for long enough It’s time to take it back We've come too far to act like we haven’t Our bodies bear the scars of ideas used as weapons Correctness is not guaranteed This system started being written in 10,000 BC [Verse 2] Idle hands, pacified, sophistry Imagining gods to justify the ferocity The thunder and lightning, earthquakes and fires Roars in dark forests and why lives expire The widening gyre, the blood-dimmed tide Coincide with the rise of structure in our lives We became strong because the tools made us stronger We were still young and we put our faith in wonder Determined to do better - empirical edge Stone Bronze renaissance – Rohwedder’s sliced bread Gutenberg galaxies to factories to Allen keys Borne from the mother of invention, Ms. Necessity Misdirected, we could never see the forest for the trees Tourists in our own towns, disconnected from memory The lost art of remembering, dismembered and divided Holds the key to everything, don't let them deny it
