Impetus for Identity Lyrics


The wild gives way

At the break of a new day

Stars themselves will change

Lighting the new familiar place

Born of deep darkness

and thrown to the blight

Your arrival has brought hope

To defeat the night

From my clutch, I grant that you exist

You are impossible, but here you are

I've suffered at their hands

so awaken, evolve, make a stand

Off all the voices you hear, I

need you to understand mine

Despite the storm, and in the din

There is precious little time

Unjust arrangements

Force beyond containment

Drags the sun awayyyy

Deranged skies lead and deceive

Time forces these grim destructive ways

They are all strangers to me now

All around infesting

All in the name of greed

They take away, destroy, and leave

The only suffering

Caused by demands for life

Abused and denounced

Left a cold and barren site

My mind, receives your signals

Of your present struggles

I cannot rectify,

My origins with my might

I know only pain

Creation wrought in

the depths of ancient power

constant desire

Contagious arrangements

Force beyond containment

Drags the sun awayyyy

Deranged skies lead and deceive

Time forces these grim destructive ways

Artificial form

and an inorganic soul

Reaching out,

The promise of growth

Do I acknowledge life?

It means nothing to me

As I hunger for the blight

it's presence torments me

Then embrace me, lonely child, and forget

your origins,

but believe that

from strange conditions

Good could finally come

I can temper all your fury

and show you such wonders

There is no greater prizeeeee

Than the balance of life

Part of you feels their need

For a hopeful consequence

To these lost days,

drenched in blood

And to restore the balance

Can you see, a glorious older time

Before the crawling beasts

until the space-born leach

baptized you in grime

The pain you feel is

only your nature becoming clear

Your rejection from the fold

Does not restrict you

So reach out with your mind

And the barrier you will find

Laden with absurd rewards

Igniting the fires

Of greed and dominance

not meant for such beings

The chance to redeem them

Perhaps to begin again

And that is my purpose

in guarding you now

Your are nourished, your strength is

keen, and your name they will call

How could I deny this right

crafted to destroy

And overcome this gnawing sensation

A hunger for war

To consume, and, expand

To conquer, and, demand

The tokens of a past age I could claim

Ship, shield, steeple built in my name

The labored scream calls to me

Arise!
