The Future Has Been Cancelled Lyrics by Rose with Teeth

The Idols Have Been Cast Down and Rent

2018

We were promised many great things
But we were never told what the future brings
How shall we ever reclaim the light
When the whole world is shrouded in hellish night?
I am seeking shelter, but there is no escape
From this deracinated world without shape
I am a nomad, bereft of territory
But wherever I look, I can find no glory
Slowly, slowly, the future is cancelled
Never to come, never to pass
The world we know has been dismantled
And all that remains is but vaporous gas
The land is haunted by spectres of the past
For we know that nothing can ever last
All is flux—all is but a process:
Everything is fated to someday evanesce
Our memories give us but little solace
When a life of awe has become aweless
The world was once all that is the case
But is now overtaken with empty space
Slower and slower, the world keeps turning
Toward void—toward nothingness
The embers of life will finish burning—
But we still yearn to combiness
Beyond that, it's all a mess
We are trapped in an endless loop of time
To lose the 'I' for the 'me'
The Last Man is dragged through the slime
Slowly losing his Will to Be—
Shantih shantih shantih
Slowly, slowly, the future is cancelled
Never to come, never to pass
The world we know has been dismantled
And all that remains is but vaporous gas
Slowly, slowly, the future is cancelled
Never to come, never to pass
The world we know has been dismantled
And all that remains is but vaporous gas
