Heirs of Sisyphus Lyrics

THE ZEITGEIST OF FEAR HAS RETURNED
THE WAY HAS BEEN PAVED BY THE MEEK
HERE ARE THE INHERITORS OF IGNORANCE
WHO WILL DRAG US ALL INTO DARKNESS
FEEBLE-MINDED INSTIGATORS
REPEAT THE DEEDS OF THEIR FOREFATHERS
AN AVERSION TOWARDS REASON
PASSED ON THROUGH GENERATIONS

AND WE ARE THE BYSTANDERS
POINTING OUR CROOKED FINGERS
WE DO NOTHING, SAY NOTHING
CRIPPLED BY OUR INCAPACITATION

WE’RE THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY
CAUGHT IN A WHEEL OF SUFFERING
VICIOUS CIRCLE OF REINCARNATION
WE’RE THE HEIRS OF SISYPHUS

A BOULDER SHAPED BY OUR WRONGDOINGS
PUSHED UPHILL ON A BLOOD-SOAKED PATHWAY
WHICH LEAVES A TRAIL OF DESPAIR
FOR THE HEIRS OF SISYPHUS

SO MUCH HAS BEEN LOST
BANISHED TO A FUTURE IN THE NETHERWORLD
WHERE THERE’S A SEA FILLED WITH MOURNING SKULLS
OF ALL THOSE WHO ONCE WALKED THE EARTH
FAR IN THE DEEP IS AN ALTAR
ON WHICH OUR INTEGRITY WAS SACRIFICED
TO AN EMPTY SOULS’ DOMAIN
NOW WE REIGN OVER NOTHING
