PROMETHEUS LYRICS

Adrift...

"Adrift..." (2003 Demo)

1. Rodent Speech
2. Mothership
3. The Journal of Dr Baker
4. One by One







1. Rodent Speech

Have you seen your face in the firelight?
The way it contorts every smile
And writhes before your eyes
Waiting to swallow you alive

We wear a tourniquet of shadows
To cease the flow from our hearts
Praise Icons with trembling hands
Until we mimic their lives

The incence burns my poor lungs/
As the puppet becomes unstrung
I have bled my share into the snow/
Even the sun is growing cold

The roaches nest in our home
I don't think we are welcome anymore
It is time to let the bonfires
Lead us into the thirsting night

And what of the rodent speech?
Grooming us until the bitter end
Lulling us into a fitful sleep
As we try to comprehend
Why we are kept inside
Staring at the conflagration
Or left to drift through life
All alone in our stagnation

The roaches nest in our home...

I will stay where I have always been
please don't leave without me

I don't know where I am supposed to go
I don't know where I am supposed to be
I will stay where I have always been
Please don't leave without me




2. Mothership

Syncronized and bright, a calculated fall
Into the unforgiving void
Cold sodium light, a voiceless call
Into the silence we deploy

Adrift in space
Elated soul parade
Adrift in space
Listless and afraid

A trust of souls, to the god-machine
Into stellar schoals, through the nebular stream
Sails on altars high, a binary death-scream
Farewell life-support, enter the darkest dream

I feel so scared
We are all lost
Out here...

An ionized caress, oh, ghostly touch
As S:t Elmo rests in space
A song of distress, as we helplessly watch
The blind destruction of our race

Adrift in space, but I still adore her
Elated soul parade, our derelict mother
Wounded and scared, as deep inside her
We try to repair, our dying sundiver

I feel so scared...
Adrift in space...
I feel so scared...




3. The Journal of Dr Baker

Knowledge manifest
Lucidity eludes her now
She is confused at best
Probing heavenward
A storm devoid of sound

Hybrid integration
A neural wedlock
In madness guised
An illumination
On our imminent demise

Through the uplink he speaks to me
Planting words inside my mind
Join the interface and you will see
The fate that awaits our kind

I am the purebreed oracle
Child of the fractal feed
A mind/machine messenger
Guiding your way when you cannot see

You will all come to regret
That you did not heed me
The chosen will leave you here
And in the end you will see

A mind so sharp
A body so scarred
It was always their way…
A fate so strangely clean
Eternity within the god-machine

I am the purebreed oracle...

You will all come to regret...




4. One by One

A taste of decadence
So lovely and cold
To the bitter end
A crack in the mould

In the aftermath
The fallout so pure
carved in our bones
Taught to endure

I can't seem to escape this insanity
The pictures all seem wrong
But take them one by one
In the light of the fading sun

It is my blood on the canvas
In the tarot on the altar
A well-known scene:
The visionaire extreme

In the aftermath
The fallout so pure
carved in our bones
Taught to endure
