a million points of light ascending to the sky
monuments in darkness
standing watch until the sun will rise
of how we deified ourselves
screaming to an emptiness
what inspires in us this madness
with our hands over our eyes
claiming all of creation
that out existence should be defined
by a light that can't be seen by anyone
what inspires in us this madness
that out existence should be defined
by a light that we can't see
by a light that can't be seen
monuments in darkness
a million points of light ascending to the sky
I can't, I can't see this all as progress
standing watch until the sun will rise
when we see ourselves as deities
claim nature for ourselves
how did we come this far?
by our actions we betray the instincts in our race
by our blindness and stupidity we kill everything
we kill everything
can someone see our self destruction?
are we reminding ourselves that our existence is so delicate
that without this light we are no more
that without this light we've made we are no more
a million points of light
standing watch
ascending to the sky
monuments in darkness
until the sun will rise
we torch the earth until it bleeds
rain ashes from the sky
just to make a light that no one can see
we cut the earth until it bleeds
rain ashes from the sky
just to make a light that no one can see
just to make a light
just to make a light
we kill everything
we kill everything
by our blindness and stupidity
a million lights that no one can see?
a million points of lightand in a thousand years what will be our legacy
