Collapse - Vektor

We don’t belong at these heights

Watching over all

We’ve come to the point of the obelisk

Impaled as we fall

Collapse under the weight of time

In this still life of our design

Collapse into a great resolve

Everything falls

A broken image reflects from a shattered surface

Its shards of truth cut clean their meaning, our purpose

A tearful dawn sheds light

On what we have become

We were not meant to live like this

No life, no freedom

A broken image reflects from a shattered surface

Its shards of truth cut clean their meaning, our purpose

To struggle, to glean, to want, to bleed

We’ve bided time

We’ve traveled to distant worlds

On our quest for knowledge and power

We’ve traced the galactic whorls

And now full circle

Unfulfilled by what we’ve seen

This is it, one galaxy

Out of the shadows, my silhouette is torn

Freed from the darkness, I see my vile form

Bleeding out from a spiral clade

This is all I have

This is all that I have

To live, to die, to lose our pride

To accept our fate

Life is not ours to dictate

Stagnation is death in a constitution of progress

Now at the zenith there is nowhere left

Nowhere left to go but down

Ruling in the present while the future eludes us

The further we push forward

The harder it becomes to look back

To struggle, to glean, to want, to bleed

To live, we must die

We live to die
