Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Culture was the seed of proliferation, but it's gotten melded
Into an inharmonic whole
Into an inharmonic whole
Consciousness has plagued us and we cannot shake it
Though we think we're in control
Though we think we're in control
[Verse 2]
Questions that besiege us in life
Are a testament of our helplessness
[Verse 3]
"There's no vestige of a beginning
No prospect of an end" (Hutton 1795)
When we all disintegrate
It will all happen again, yeah
[Verse 4]
Time is so rock solid in the minds of the hoards, but they can't
Explain why it should slip away
Explain why it should slip away
History and future are the comforts of our curiosity
But here we are
Rooted in the present day
Rooted in the present day
[Verse 5]
Questions that besiege us in life
Are a testament of our helplessness
[Verse 6]
"There's no vestige of a beginning
No prospect of an end" (Hutton 1795)
When we all disintegrate, it will all happen again, yeah
If you came to conquer, you'll be king for a day
But you too will deteriorate and quickly fade away
And believe these words you hear
When you think your path is clear...
[Verse 7]
We have no control
We have no control
We have no control
We do not understand
You have no control
You are not in command
[Verse 8]
You have no control
We have no control
[Verse 9]
No control
No control
You have no control
