Awakened: Not Even Remembered by the Dust of Stars Lyrics


Now that I can see the end

Can I do what must be done?

Can I learn to control

This monstrosity inside?

In myself I know I can find

All the things I despise

But what am I now

If I am not God?

What if we fail, what if we fall?

What if our reach exceeds our grasp?

Can we sustain a defeat of this size?

A war with uncertain odds?

What I'm weak, and what if I'm wrong?

Just a shepherd leading the flock astray?

Can we bear another failure?

The ugly truth of us

Cosmic triumvirate

Combating death with death

My faith in us is wavering

Preserving life with blood

No knowledge or culture left

History a grand failure

Evolution was just a joke

What if we fail, what if we fall?

What if our reach exceeds our grasp?

Can we sustain a defeat of this size?

A war with uncertain odds?

What I'm weak, and what if I'm wrong?

Just a shepherd leading the flock astray?

Can we bear another failure?

What if we fail, what if we fall?

What if our reach exceeds our grasp?

Can we sustain a defeat of this size?

A war with unknowable odds?

What I'm weak, and what if I'm wrong?

Just a shepherd leading my flock astray?

Can I sustain another failure?

We do not get the luxuries of death

Our identities remain nameless

We will not live to ever see

The world we fight and die for

We do not get the luxuries of life

A sweet embrace, a caress denied

All that we love and all we know

Not even remembered by the dust of stars

Plagued by our vague humanity

We were always such a brilliant disease

Plagued by our vague humanity

Yet even disease can have beauty

What if we fail, what if we fall?

What if our reach exceeds our grasp?

Can we sustain a defeat of this size?

A war with uncertain odds?

What I'm weak, and what if I'm wrong?

Just a shepherd leading the flock astray?

Can we bear another failure?

What if we fail, what if we fall?

What if our reach exceeds our grasp?

Can we sustain a defeat of this size?

A war with unknowable odds?

What I'm weak, and what if I'm wrong?

Just a shepherd leading my flock astray?

Can I sustain another failure?
