The Wake Lyrics by Nythis

Failed Machines of Flesh

2016

Mourners descending
At the calling hour
Life now cut so short
No matter how we plead
Denied this ascension
Holy arbiter
Give your self away
To an uncaring god

When you close your eyes
One final time
Did you think he was there?
Devotion to above
Grants no certainty
Only give long lament

You chose to carry
This anchor beget
A life of servitude
One with no reward

Why is your god so silent when you call out?
When all this
Sacrifice
Earned you
Nothing

You were the one we held so closely now
Resilience
Discipline
Struggle forth
To the end

Why is your god so silent when you call out?

No one hears
The failure of
Divinity
Left in the dark


Faith now had failed you
When is needed most
Never gave me hope
But sapped your god within
We were the creators
Denied this illusion
Renounce hopelessness
And arise anew
