Bad Temper - In Perpetuity Lyrics

As it once were
How it had always been
We are gathered here today to witness
The screams, they yearn for what is owed
Tidal waves of stasis
The inertia we have learned to loathe
No shooting stars
No heroes from afar
No stories told
This is the future none wished for
As it once were
How it still persists
Is this what we call home
This hellscape we are yet to love
Our dying ways
That lead us astray
Oh can't you see
Our time is for the taking
These chains to be broken
Arise from anew
Forever more
Did we leave a mark
A voice for some to hear
Did we learn the arc
Before we learnt to fear
As it once were
As it will be
This all we solemnly vow
We've reaped all we sew
Nothing left to see
Felt all we will ever feel
Oh can't you see
Our time is for the taking
These chains to be broken
Arise from anew
Forever more
