A million points of light ascending to the sky

Monuments in darkness standing watch until the sun will rise

Screaming to an emptiness of how we deified ourselves

With our hands over eyes, claiming all of creation.

What inspires in us this madness

That our existence should be defined

By a light that can’t be seen by anyone?

What inspires in us this madness

That our existence should be defined

By a light that we can’t see?

A million points of light ascending to the sky

Monuments in darkness standing watch until the sun will rise

I can’t see this all as progress

How did we come this far when we see ourselves as deities,

Claim nature for ourselves?

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 ascending to the sky

Monuments in darkness standing watch 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

By our blindness and stupidity

We kill everything.

In a thousand years what will be our legacy a million lights that no one could

see?

A million points of light.
