"Survivors Odd"
And here we are, Survivors Odd
We trip and fall, we trudge and plod
Across the barren wastes of Earth
We watch another world's rebirth
The world's life
Is snuffed and flawed
Yet we still live,
Survivors Odd
And in this new, harsh land we learn
To travel with the planet's turn
We cast off civilization's shackles
In nature's fold, we raise our hackles
We learn again
To live off land
Survivors Odd,
Cities now sand
And Time went on, left us behind
Our knowledge lost, we could not find
For all our words, now we are mimes
And we go back to primitive times
Our power lost
From shark to cod
Back to the Dawn
Survivors Odd
We now obey the Ancient Law
We scorned the Ancients, yet never saw
We never knew we would become
Back to our roots, and we grow dumb
Millennia of growth is lost
Humanity's greatest Holocaust
The world is young, the ties are sawed
But here we are, Survivors Odd.
And we went on, and rediscovered,
Our olden power, our future uncovered
How could we know, those future depths,
Were really our past, we'd walked those steps?
Again we go,
From wheel to plane
Survivors Odd
We wax and wane
Once more we grow, we become strong
We make a world where we belong,
From beast to man, our olden wrath
We rediscover the Ancient's path
Here we become
The ancient's power
Back to the future
From rock to tower
We've learned again, to be civilization
From feudal plot to proud, great nation
Then God comes down, to warn us all
Of our past, our future fall
He spoke to us
"I am your God"
Said he to us,
Survivors Odd
In truth, he was no Holy Ghost
It was a jive, it was a boast
He was an ancient, come back to see,
The future, the past, like you and me
"Take heed!" He warned.
Hark, here, to God,
Or once again be
Survivors Odd
We did not heed his noble word
The humans' wrath, again incurred
Our greatest and most ancient flaw,
Became a war, became the Maw
We turned against them
Sister and Brother
Just as the ancients,
The Mother and Father
Again, the world was ripped apart
We, helmed as Death, in mind and heart
The world burned, and God did grieve
And humans went back to Adam and Eve
And here we are, Survivors Odd,
We trip and fall, we trudge and plod
Across the barren desert of Earth,
We watched another world's rebirth
History's path,
The Beginning, the End
The Life, the Death
The ancient, the Ancients
The Alpha, The Omega
The Genesis, the Judgment,
The First, The last
The Light, The Shadow
The Love, The Strife
The Circle of Life
We walk the path forever more
We open the Gate, we Bolt the Door
We lie, we learn, we hope, we love,
Black raven's beak, wing of white dove
The open hand, the iron rod
And here we are, Survivors Odd.
