Monolith Stares

Intro

We are still staring

Staring at the monolith

Verse 1

Fingers tracing hieroglyphs on concrete skin

Adam coughed up starlight and called it sin

They paid the rulers with a rib and a ghost

Now I'm chewing on the bone of what I hate the most

Pre-Chorus

Bought me into shadow

Bought me cheap

Bought me with a future I'll never keep

Chorus

I am become death

I am become the door

I am become the socket

That the lightning's waiting for

I am become death

I am become the floor

Watch me crawl back to the garden

Through the splinters and the war

Verse 2

Water fire spirit crawling from the dirt

They stitched a god together from the ignorance and hurt

Rulers pulled the darkness till the darkness started shining

Dragging Eden backwards through the serpent's silver lining

Pre-Chorus

Bought me into shadow

Bought me cheap

Bought me with a future I'll never keep

Chorus

I am become death

I am become the door

I am become the socket

That the lightning's waiting for

I am become death

I am become the floor

Watch me crawl back to the garden

Through the splinters and the war

Bridge

First to ascend

First to break

First to wear the skin

Of the god I couldn't shake

Monolith still standing

Monolith still stares

Adam in the wreckage

Counting up his heirs

Outro - spoken/screamed

Earth water fire spirit

Earth water fire spirit

Earth water fire

Nothing left but wire
