AVATAR LYRICS

1. Silence in the Age of Apes

Cyborg entrails
We build Valhalla out of its dreams
Silicone, copper, and steel

Star-clad circuits
Within these digits we cease to be
The temple is ready, now kneel

We accelerate
We accelerate
We accelerate
Straight from the core

We accelerate
We accelerate
We accelerate
Never let go

Silence
The age of apes
Silence
The age of apes

Lifeless rebirth
The genocide begins with the trees
Watch as the terminal bleeds

Ciphered sirens
The broken ladder speaks as we peel
We all have to pay for our deeds, let's go

We accelerate
We accelerate
We accelerate
Straight from the core

We accelerate
We accelerate
We accelerate
Never let go

Silence
The age of apes
Silence
The age of apes

We accelerate
We accelerate
We accelerate
Straight from the core

We accelerate
We accelerate
We accelerate
Never let go

Silence
The age of apes
Silence
The age of apes

2. Colossus

Colossus
Arise

In the image of man
We breed our demons
On the wide wings of science
Our abomination of a child flies

Ask me for your name, my friend
Tell me what I feel like to you
Is it coming to an end?
I don't understand it

Colossus
Colossus, arise

In old bones in the soil
We plant a garden
We are harvesting progress
The glow of a worm inside a child's eye

Ask me for your name, my friend
Tell me what I feel like to you
Is it coming to an end?
I don't understand it

Colossus
Colossus, arise

Make your way up to the top
Of electric mountains

Ask me for your name, my friend
Tell me what I feel like to you
Is it coming to an end?
I don't understand

Colossus
Colossus, arise

Colossus
Arise

3. A Secret Door

I'm blown away
Like a layer of dust on the floor
Of the hall where we first met
Trust was the first thing we lost that day

You asked where to stay
You would do what you must
And the drawings would say more than you could
Lust for red berries, the taste of shame

Hey
How about me and you leaving?
There must be a way out of here
Look from the corner of your eye
The doorway is real

Hey now
Why even try
This isn't home
There must be a way out
Listen
You have to try
The door will show before we land
Before we land
Before we land
Before we land

I just wanna play
There's a scent of regret
But I don't know whose time we are stealing
Ask me and I wouldn't change a thing

Am I in the way?
I will do what I must
To make sure that our treasures are hidden
Move with the currents
Just one more day

Hey
How about me and you leaving
There must be a way out of here
Look from the corner of your eye
The doorway is real

Hey now
Why even try
This isn't home
There must be a way out
Listen
You have to try
The door will show before we land
Before we land
Before we land
Before we land

I'm blown away, like a layer of dust
But I don't know the name I've been given
No more than dirt so do what you must

I know I must pay, I know it's a crime
But if you come inside I'm forgiven
But there's that urge to flee
We can fight some other time

Hey
How about me and you leaving?
There must be a way out of here
Look from the corner of your eye
The doorway is real

Hey now
Why even try?
This isn't home
There must be a way out
Listen
You have to try
The door will show before we land
Before we land
Before we land
Before we land

4. God of Sick Dreams

Just save the child
Leave me to die

No escape and no-one cares
Purple lightning, spheric shapes
Body fears what mind creates
I swim across
I won't wake if you don't sleep
Fingers search for torn up seams
Lips make shapes of silent screams
I swim across

I am the god of sick dreams
A city torn by mischief
Your fantasies still buried
I am the god of sick dreams

Hideous shape
In my image

No escape and no-one cares
Purple lightning, spheric shapes
Body fears what mind creates
I swim across
I won't wake if you don't sleep
Fingers search for torn up seams
Lips make shapes of silent screams
I swim across

I am the god of sick dreams
A city torn by mischief
Your fantasies still buried
I am the god of sick dreams

God of sick dreams
God of sick dreams
God of sick dreams
God of sick dreams

This is how it ends
Every night is the same
We awake to get sentenced
And a choice must be made
Will you succumb to excruciating pain?
Or will you try to escape?
Doesn't matter, you're fucked either way

I am the god of sick dreams
A city torn by mischief
Your fantasies still buried
I am the god of sick dreams

5. Scream Until You Wake

6. Child

There was a funeral last week, a procession down the street
People acted like the circus came to town
The choir sang so loud when the casket hit the ground
That the tiny bell that rang was all but drowned

She's buried alive
Buried alive

A little child stood by the grave and was told that it was brave
It's not right to lose one's mother while so young
The child was wondering still that if mother was so ill
Then who pulled on the string so the bell rung?

She's buried alive
Buried alive

Come, let's go outside and play
Pretend we ran away
I know a secret place
In the garden by the maze
They keep the curtains closed
And we are never told
And no one wants to say
Will they let our mother stay?

And the silence of the crowd stood in contrast to the sound
On the last night when dear mother could still cry
There was laughter just before as the child peeked through the door
The shadows of her sickness grew to wild

Now she's buried alive
Buried alive

Come, let's go outside and play
Pretend we ran away
I know a secret place
In the garden by the maze
They keep the curtains closed
And we are never told
And no one wants to say
Will they let our mother stay?

Bring me mother
I can't sleep
Child don't weep
Mother's resting
Mother will wake up again

Bring me mother
I can't sleep
Child don't weep
Mother's resting
Mother will wake up again

Come, let's go outside and play
Pretend we ran away
I know a secret place
In the garden by the maze
They keep the curtains closed
And we are never told
And no one wants to say
Will they let our mother stay?

Will they let our mother stay?

7. Justice

Warden, let me in
I tried to be the mad man in the scene
As written for me, boot marks on my chin
I did my best to fail at this life as life became misery
Cage me, make me sip
Your sacraments are tarnished by my lips
I choose to spit
Cut me, let her rip
Dismember me as minds are set free once bodies are broken

Come and gather the shards of our tongues
This is justice

I can see the future through the barrel of a gun
This is justice
This is justice
Let me smell the roses of their promises all gone
It's their justice
It's their justice

Traitor, battle me
I need the violence deep inside of me
To find a purpose, twisted imagery
I dream of the waves that will come and end what we've started
I know what I saw
I am the witness running from your laws
Of common physics, poems cut like claws
I saw the children
All the children saw us as we danced upon their graves

Come and gather the shards of our tongues
This is justice

I can see the future through the barrel of a gun
This is justice
This is justice
Let me smell the roses of their promises all gone
It's their justice
It's their justice

As the sun began to rise
The blood on their cheeks evaporated
The stencil maker made his rounds
Over a town built like a labyrinth
Everybody is bound to find cheese in the morning traffic
And if they dare to look up and meet our gaze
We might have our war

Warden, let me in
I tried to be the mad man in the scene
As written for me, boot marks on my chin
I did my best to fail at this life as life became misery

I can see the future through the barrel of a gun
This is justice
This is justice
Let me smell the roses of their promises all gone
It's their justice
It's their justice

8. Gun

You give a boy a gun
You hope he won't be long
You tell him to take aim, be strong
You gave it all

You give a boy a gun
That's how the story ends
Atrocities aside, it's nice
We won the war

Let me take a look at you
Just one last time
Don't ask me to let go, not now
I'm not alright

You teach the kids to draw
Yet still the page is blank
You gave up and you stayed behind
You gave it all

You give a boy a gun
And leave the door unlocked
You gave up on yourself, but tonight
We won the war

Let me take a look at you
Just one last time
Don't ask me to let go, not now
I'm not alright

Let me take a look at you
Just one last time
Don't ask me to let go, not now
I'm not alright

9. When All but Force Has Failed

Bird carcass with a belly full of plastic
One more year and I'll be a millionaire
Fill my dreams with the void of outer space
Don't you dare to show your face
I can't take more of the same

I want
Bigger, better things and want to end it all
I can't
Let myself go unpunished

When is all hope lost
Gotta get to battle at all cost
When all but force has failed
The strongest link will break the chain

Failing lives on a quest for better bargains
One more mile and we'll be in paradise
Name your price for the bodies you have slain
There's a price for every stain
And the currency is pain

I need
Chaos to ensue 'cause I don't want to wake up
I can't
Let your crimes go unpunished

When is all hope lost
Gotta get to battle at all cost
When all but force has failed
The strongest link will break the chain

Ground up bugs is the color of season
Shit feast grin, we are everything we eat
Mass grave death like an orgy in the snow
Nowhere left to go
We're devoured by the glow

I know
Monsters aren't real but I know what I've done
I want
To tell you all I'm sorry

When is all hope lost
Gotta get to battle at all cost
When all but force has failed
The strongest link will break the chain

10. Wormhole

The propulsion is broken
We implode
No one cares
Abandon all hope
Just don't abandon me

A sickness I used to know
Sickness inside the heart
One million miles ago
And one million years apart

The wormhole
The wormhole is closing

There's no navigator, the starlight is lost
No one's left
Everything's gone
You're doomed, so stay with me

A sickness I used to know
Sickness inside the heart
One million miles ago
And one million years apart

The wormhole
The wormhole is closing

We built pillars to the sky
As a final attempt to take off upon the solar winds
What no one realized at the time
Was that the earthly structures took the shape of a mausoleum
Banished from the vacuum void we once came from
Our caskets were petroleum

A sickness I used to know
Sickness inside the heart
One million miles ago
And one million years apart
A sickness I used to know
Sickness inside the heart
One million miles ago
And one million years apart

The wormhole
The wormhole is closing
