The Ancient Isle & Disillusionment Lyrics

Torn existence
Between beliefs
Sworn into this world
To interpret what's been left behind

Wander through the ancient ruins
Ponder upon the artifacts
Into the lens of another time
To see through what's been vandalized

Collective dreams of a thousand minds
Understand their values
It's there
All derivative of the natural world

Abandon
All that's got us this far

Listless mastery of a process
In thoughtless disregard
New ways ensured by arrogance

Modern day human race
Seems to exist in disconnect
Old ways been buried forever

Abandon
All that's done us so well

Whispers from an age
Linger in an elder mind
Decay with passing time
Silencing an ancient voice

Echoes of yesterday
Fall on unwilling ears
Replaced by new beliefs
Marked by malevolence

Abandon
All that's got us this far

Listless mastery of a process
In thoughtless disregard
New ways ensured by arrogance

Modern day human race
Seems to exist in disconnect
Spirituality has been severed

Blaze of industry
As mountains crumble underneath
The grinding gears of the machine
As it becomes the instrument of its undoing

As we sever this connection
Do remember just where we are
Disaster in the making
From the ties we're breaking
