Fate's Pantomime - Operus

Play the game

Just as the same all do

Take a name and assume a costume

Uniform in the strangest of ways

We are all deformed by this tangled embrace

And still we feed upon the damned

We feel we bleed

?

in our head

So play the game

Join in the pantomime

That’s driven us insane

Over the long winding tale of time

?

as old as the sky

With no memory of when we first

Opened our eyes and saw what life was doing

Pursue

Consume

Replicate

[Lonely for my first dream

The state of my first breath

Escaped it into life]?

As if by the hands of death

So, virus, tell me, what is my fate?

Pursue

Consume

Replicate

Billions of years have produced us

So why have we built up such a small cage

Our selves hold the memories of every past life

Gladly betrayed to make us behave

But billions of years won’t forsake us

These outline the valid potentials inside

So try as you might with your coercive games

You won’t build a cage for our lives

In life we assume existence external

Where no one has been or will ever go

As if what we perceive is some sort of echo

We are reflected forever alone

So it seems there are more of us in here

Different voices arise at difference times

Dare I say it?

I am legion, anything but unified

We opened our eyes and saw what life was doing

What are we doing?

Pursue

Consume

Replicate

So play the game

Join in the pantomime

That’s driven us insane

Over the long winding tale of time

?

as old as the sky

With no memory of when we first

Played the game

Just as the same all do

Take a name and assume a costume

Uniform in the strangest of ways

We are all deformed by this tangled embrace

And still we feed upon the damned

We feel we bleed

?
