Day by measured day
We made the certainty we seek
A world of ease and order
For the wealth of why we keep
And each upon the last
We laid the measure of our lives
Rising up into uncertain skies
See how we rise
Rise above our nature
Rise up from its consequence to light
Bound to the machine
We made our causes for effects
And form to follow function
For the certainty of next
And day by numbered day
We raised up walls of glass and steel
Dreamed within nothing unknown was real
Rise
Day by day
Real's what we've decided
Cause from consequence divided
And all tomorrows seem so near
No room left for questions now all answers seem so clear
Glass and shattered steel fall burning
Tumbling down in fire and ruin
The choking mass of dust and ash
Pours through the streets below
And high above it all she watches
Trembling like the steel she clutches
The end of all connected things
Here at the fall of everything
She knows
Fear and fire surround us
Now that consequence has found us
And now the skies that seemed so clear
Fill with threats and promises of suffering and fear
