lyrics
With the clock moving backwards we're still running out of time
Technology advances while lucidity declines
In the grip of crippling ignorance we rashly drone
Despite the deepest well of knowledge we've ever known
Civilizations rise and fall as a general rule
But this race to extinction is unique in its abuses
Take me up to the highest place and show me all the world
I'm searching for anything left in it outside of the absurd
Rapaciousness annihilates all it can afflict
A serpent wraps around the Earth tightly to constrict
The powermad they make me hope that there's a hell
Though I know that I'm no innocent, I'm sure to see them there
Take me up to the highest place and show me all the world
I'm searching for anything left in it outside of the absurd
Take me up to the highest place far above the world
I'm searching for anything left in it that's yet to be disturbed
I struggle to dream of a future in a world without a prayer
They're no deities above us to save us from ourselves
One man may break the seven seals in a nuclear thrust
Though the end of the world is not enough, I long for the big crunch
Take me up to the highest place and show me all the world
I'm searching for anything left in it outside of the absurd
Take me up to the highest place far above the world
I'm searching for anything left in it that's yet to be disturbed
And if I find any evidence of a holy benevolent force
I'll transmit a humble plea throughout the universe
