Maelstrom Aeterna - For What We've Become Lyrics

Find new ways to feel, new ways to see
A different world beyond imagination
Chaos, to be expected, diversity injected
With selfishness from tyrannical authority

Endeavour the light

Find ways to congregate, fuelled by their hate
Oblivious to lies from oppression
Conflict to be expected, rationality dissected
With cluelessness and wounds from he past

Expecting impact from a turning tide
Confront the system, with hopes to coincide
A conflict rooted way beneath the shell of what we are
With greed and gluttony those reaching for the top takes it way too f*cking far

Imagine evolution could lead to genocide
A total fear of what we could find
Turning harmony into a distant dream

Ascended beyond what it means to be
Return for blood
To take back what was part of me
Reaching for where I came from
Augmented beyond what I was meant to be
Down came the flood
To bring back what used to be
Struck down by what we were
For what we have become

Shown the light, just to be left in darkness,
Grab the helping hand, attached to noone

Hate begets hatred
Tears and blood
Will soak the soil we all grew from
And nourish more pain

Survival of the fittest, while
Fitted with tools designed for ending lives

We reach the impact of a turning tide
Expecting thrusting swords from either side
Weed out the root beneath the shell of what they have become
With pride, they try to stop us from being what we are

Ascended beyond what it means to be
Return for blood
To take back what was part of me
Reaching for where I came from
Augmented beyond what I was meant to be
Down came the flood, to take back what used to be
Struck down by what we were

Hate begets hatred
Tears and blood
Will soak the soil we all grew from
And nourish more pain

Ascended beyond what I could ever dream to be
Dragged through the mud
Persecuted and condemned
By what we were
For what we have become

For what we have become
