Testo The new eternity Silent Planet

The new eternity

Mother, tell me, why do the waters make us sick? [1]
Who bleeds the heavens making the clouds rain pestilence? [2]
Dropping fever, [3] like manna from the morning sky [4]
Gather your children and hold them as they die [5]
Panic humming in the palm of my hand
Silent vectors injected with the curse of man [6]
Bodies dissected, heartbeats redirected [7]
The past was dead, [8] why did we resurrect it? [9]

Strange fruit [10] grows on the vine [11] of humankind
Beneath a bright synthetic sky, I saw the future die

A web of wires in our mind
Weaves an empire down our spine [12]
I fear we've sealed our fate
There's no escape, there's no escape: the new eternity
Strange fruit is growing on the vine
Beneath a bright synthetic sky
I fear we've sealed our fate
There's no escape, there's no escape: the new eternity

Germinating extinction [13]

The people unite when you dose [14] them with fear [15]
Relinquish their will, let their objections disappear
Crowds galvanized by vapid words [16] and septic slurs [17]
Utterly transfixed [18] by the fiction of the "greater good" [19]
Estranged in this age [20] we set sail to the stars
Return to the earth still unaware of who we are [21]
We've come too far, we've come too far, we've come too far, it's all I know
The darkness didn't die, no, we brought it home [22]

I sowed a secret deep in the earth
But despite the world it grew I knew all things could be made new
All things will be made new [23]

A web of wires in our mind
Weaves an empire down our spine
I fear we've sealed our fate
There's no escape, there's no escape: the new eternity
Strange fruit is growing on the vine
Beneath a bright synthetic sky
I fear we've sealed our fate
There's no escape, there's no escape: the new eternity

Cross the Great Divide and see Light and Dark collide in me
Shake the shroud of secrecy, [24] uproot the grim hegemony [25]
The new eternity
