The Spiral Timeshift Songtext
von Scar Symmetry

Inner revolution
Response mechanical thundering
Opposition to all new paradigms
At first denied
At first denied
And then opposed with fervor
Resist subsequently
Accepted as being self-evident

No one can avoid a thing whose time has come
Emergence of an idea tear worldviews apart
At first we criticize and then we ideolize
Invasive technology drawn like moths to flame

Behold the mighty fall down towards failure
And with the end in sight they discover
Somewhere along the road they have lost
Their cause, their souls (Their souls)
Oh, how the mighty fall down the spiral


Caught in imitation
Our hearts irrational
Reign above all, then to dissolve
In their downfall others will take their place
At first denied
At first denied
And then opposed with fervor
Resist subsequently
Accepted as being true in every sense

Behold the mighty fall down towards failure
And with the end in sight they discover
Somewhere along the road they have lost
Their cause, their souls (Their souls)
Oh, how the mighty fall down the spiral

(Time-shifting rhyme spirals on and on) Across this wide terrain we kill everything
Including ourselves
(Time-shifting rhyme spirals on) Like moths to the flame we′re drawn
Our wings ablaze in the midst of our flight

Weigh my heart and see
Weight of my burden
Humans plagued by programmed sins
Through prayers unanswered
I will become the divine

Embrace temptation to mutate, recreate my being
My soul mechanized, ultimate perfection achieved


No one can avoid a thing whose time has come
Emergence of an idea tear worldviews apart
At first we criticize and then we ideolize
Invasive technology drawn like moths to flame

Yet all the mighty fall down towards failure
And with the end in sight they discover
Somewhere along the road they have lost
Their cause, their souls (Their souls)
Oh, how the mighty fall down the spiral

I choose transformation to mutate, recreate my being
Bring modification to erase and replace my essence now
