It's been sixty five days since we've seen land
The windless air mocks us, the captain's gone mad
Salt beef and hard tack quenches no man's thirst
One skin of water's left and seven men still stand
How I don't have scurvy I will never know
The sick and dying lie before me
My eyes scan the horizon for some forgotten island
Perhaps in some small way we'll have some luck today
A sudden darkness overhead blocks our way
St Elmo's fire dances at the stern and the waters churn
The seething ocean makes and angry fist, smashes down smashes down
All hands on deck I shout but it's too late - we overturn
We overturn
And we break in two
Her gentle hands pull me from the surf, as I wake she goes
I feel sand between my fingers

Superstate

Seems that you have found the way, I didn't see you follow
But now you've seen the secret place, you will not see tomorrow
In your eyes I see no fear, your future lies before you
Youthful optimistic stare, you've nothing more to lose do you?
So as we stand here looking down into oblivion
Will you remember my words?
For at least six hundred years dark forces have conspired
To create a superstate, enslave the world entire
It's just a matter of time and place, one thing leads to another
Modern life has sealed our fate, apathy willful ignorance
So as we stand here looking down into oblivion
Will you remember my words?
Global systems are in place, procedures must be followed
Every second of the day eye in the sky is looking at you
You better do everything that I say or secret dogs will find you
Noble savagery awaits, sweet wilderness to hide you
Now as we stand here face to face with oblivion
My time has come - you escape

All I know amounts to nothing
Who can see all that there is?
All so small uncountable floating in deep space
Nothing is something
Miniscule and ever smaller
Everything is made of something
Soon so soon
The enormity of what we're facing hasn't dawned on many yet
Soon so soon
In the twinkling of an eye all affliction will be gone with nothing left
Soon so soon
Soon so soon...

If you've been walking in the shadow's rest
If you believe you've somehow passed the test
The counterfeit says to drink the wine
As crumbs of corpus Christi feed the mice
You'll burn, confession
Hell fire and brimstone
Take my hand let's walk on the tombs of the ancients
Let me gently take that tear from your eye
Profane geometry lights up the sky
A single drop of rain falls on dry ground
All the believers have all fled this town
All that remains inside this cruciform
Sinful reflections of old days long gone
Profane, a stain
Of the ancient days
Take my hand let's dance on the tombs of the ancients
Let me gently wipe that tear from your eye
Profane geometry burns up the sky
It begins
Thunder rumbles over thirsty wasteland
Dry dust quickly turn to mud
Empty streets have become inundated
Overtaken by the flood
It's time
Polluted waters dissolve everything
Purifying mortal sins
Water water water everywhere
Not a single drop to drink
Goodbye
Mercy extended to survivors, everyone
Is looking down on what was once their little town
So astounded
The steeple disappears into the blackened water
Never to be seen again

On a day just like yesterday
When a great darkness filled the sky
We had no idea what was to come
Without warning the strongest all burned before our eyes
There was nothing to do but run
And so we go underground (go underground)
As descend take one last look at the sky (this won't be the last)
We promise you one day soon (you can never put the fire out)
We will reclaim what is ours
As we tunnel towards the core
With the search teams not far behind
Driven on by an unheard command
Telepathy resonates through rock and through sand
And we finally reach the hive
And so we go underground (go underground)
As descend take one last look at the sky (this won't be the last)
We promise you one day soon (you can never put the fire out)
We will reclaim what is ours
Our secret sanctuary
We slow down to the fundamental frequency
Silently resonate
Prepare to reemerge
Stronger
Faster
Great swarm
Without number
Bring the
War back
To the surface
Thundering across the plains
Wave after wave crashes down upon the foe
Caught unprepared running scared
Enemy obliterated
Remember when we did go underground (go underground)
Cringing in fear of a vast and powerful enemy (this will be the last)
They thought we had disappeared (you could never put the fire out)
And now we claim victory!
