Rust | Future Primitive

So for up the river

So deep in the jungle

So last, beyond rescue

You reside in a place from which you cannot escape

So last beyond rescue

Your spirit, your soul put on hold

Contempt for life fills the new void

So last beyond rescue

So far along you cannot recall

The night the wolves claimed you

They came under the cover of night

Cloaked in good intentions

That in time turned to dust

When the primordial urge becomes the guiding logic

Humanity turns to rust

We cannot turn and run away

We cannot change what is the nature of our ways

Despite the lofty things we say

It is ourselves we praise

The higher we strife, the deeper we dig our grave

Pride cometh before the fall

And as principles are pushed out the door

Values we choose after we decide what we want to justify

We cannot turn and run away

We cannot change what is the nature of our ways

Despite the lofty things we say

It is ourselves we praise

The higher we strife, the deeper we dig our grave

We do not wish to turn away

We reject change. It is the nature of our ways

Despite the lofty things we say

It is ourselves we praise

Trying to be god, we long ago last out way

My god, what have we done

Or is this your will done?

Power emerges a shadow of the soul

To roam the earth in search of itself

We do not wish to turn away

We reject change. It is the nature of our ways

Despite the lofty things we say

It is ourselves we praise

Trying to be god, we long ago last out way

As the human mind escapes the sane

We run away. Pretend we cannot stand the sight of pain

But we cannot look away

The appeal of horror is too great

And we have ourselves to blame

We have ourselves to blame
