Aetheric - Serpents Beneath The Shrine Lyrics

Basking in the light
Of our own accomplishments
We stand with such pride
With such arrogance
We’re so fucking enlightened
And oh how far we’ve come
Overlooking the wastelands
The age of pestilence has ended
With the death of modern man
We stand so high above the subsequent rot
Oblivious to the cause (the cause)
And we call it progress
With each generation we fall farther from grace
A violent decent into spacious madness
All of our evil coalescing behind a vile veil of betrayal

Our humility crumbles under the weight of the idea
That we are all important, we’re all someone real
A poisonous lie we must struggle to defy
Fight to deny this lecherous path we call life

It all comes back to this
A misplaced sense of self
An evolutionary mistake
A true failure to embrace the evidence
And history repeats (Fuck)

The truth we seek is soaked in shades of grey
We’ll never find
Forever confined within these absolutes
Victims of our own compulsions
Beggars, ill-content
Feeding upon one another
Cannibalistic
Revel in these final rays of beautiful beaming light
Yearning to hold our place in time
As they cowardly crawl back
From a burning horizon

The corrosion of our fragile moral systems
Erosion of all that was once civilized
Inbreeding genetic weakness
The false existential crisis
Every intention maligned
Has come realized

And all at once
Human kind is swept away with the ash
As history repeats
The Earth is calling out
To unleash the serpents beneath the shrine
