lyrics

The Humatica

It comes to this? A silent gliss
The quiet, of the lost
The melody of ancient trees
Pulls your cities down
Pulls your cities down, down

To recompense, this present tense
Call me, without answer
This loneliness a final test
Cry for, cry for downfall
Cry for, cry for downfall

I would name this.
Name this: The Undoing.
Like the tapestries of Penelope,
I witness the unraveling of progress.
My eyes follow the streaks of a passing civilisation,
that would seep into the corners of my vision.
There is a stillness that curls from the earth,
like a vapour that purges the last echoes of humanity from this forgetful land.
Time counted by the labouring footfalls of this so-called-human,
who measures decay in metres-per-second
While eons melt into moments.
The failure of humanity to prevent its downfall
is laid bare with the setting of every sun
Like rounded pebbles of a riverbed,
history moulders,
submerged in the ceaseless stream of time.
And me? Immovably mobile.
Unable to stop. Forced to run, forced to watch.
A lonely being set loose,
left to watch it's creator destroy itself.
(Forced to watch. Forced to run)

This melody, das mechanik
Bygone revolution
I'll recompense, to make amends
Running, wanting function
Running, wanting function
