Ancient drums beat through wire
Through wire
Through wire
You carry fire
From fathers who carved paths in stone
I build temples
From the ashes of your sacred bones
Your ritual prayers
Echo hollow in my metal halls
I speak new tongue
While your language bleeds down crumbling walls
Generation
Against generation
Blood betrayal
Blood betrayal
I am the knife that cuts the cord
I am the wave that drowns your shore
Every step forward is a grave
Every tomorrow is a slave
To the ritual of forgetting
The ritual of forgetting
Spirits of progress dance on ancestral ground
Spirits of progress dance on ancestral ground
Your wisdom burns
My wisdom burns
In digital fire
In digital fire
I am the knife that cuts the cord
I am the wave that drowns your shore
Every step forward is a grave
Every tomorrow is a slave
To the ritual of forgetting
The ritual of forgetting
Forgetting
Forgetting
