Gods & Machines
Bury Tomorrow Lyrics

Suffering is all we are
Our existence is defined by pain and struggle

Burn defeated born from war
Our defeat in war led to our rebirth, like a phoenix rising from the ashes

We worship gods and machines
We place our faith in both supernatural beings and technology

No man to rule
There is no dominant leader or authority figure in our society

Here to see
We are here to witness and experience the world around us

Watch out, you're here to believe
Be wary of blindly accepting beliefs without scrutiny

When all you've learnt so far is how to fear
If fear is the only lesson you've learned, you may be easily misled

How it is a constant to seem
Things aren't always as they appear on the surface

And with the power to put him to sleep
With the ability to control others or put them in a vulnerable state

Bless him
To show favor or praise

Hate him
To detest or strongly dislike

All the ends are the same
Regardless of the path taken, the outcome is always equal

What have you done with my life, I have changed
Acknowledging significant personal changes over time

How could I receive or redeem
Questioning the possibility of personal reconciliation or redemption

When I've been chasing demons much bigger than me
Struggling to overcome significant personal obstacles or challenges

Now your time has come my friend
It's time to face the consequences of your actions

You will not depend
The time for reliance on others is over

Full of this regret
Feeling deep remorse or sorrow

Now they're here for you again
Past mistakes or problems have resurfaced

This will be the end
The current situation will culminate in a final, decisive event

We are lost to death
We are doomed to die or have already accepted our fate

What if I told you there could be a way
Considering the possibility of a better future or alternate path

We could change this whole world in a day
Believing in the power of transformation and progress

With every strength
Giving our all and harnessing our full potential

We turn the machine
Taking control and removing reliance on technology

Free of me
Liberated from personal limitations or constraints

And end the dream
Bringing an end to the current state of affairs

Attach the wires
Preparing to take action or implement a plan

We could see
Having new insight or understanding

Switch the power
Taking control and making changes

Rescue me
Seeking salvation or assistance

Give it a chance
Being willing to try something new

There's only this
This is the only available option or path forward

Return the future
Restoring or rebuilding the potential for a better future

Destroy the past
Letting go of negative or harmful past experiences

Unholy
Not sacred or morally pure

Unloved
Without affection or care

Raised in the world
Having grown up in challenging or harsh circumstances

Baptized in blood
Having undergone significant trauma or violence

Return to us
Come back to the group or community

Escape the flood
Seeking refuge or solace from danger or chaos

May the world baptize in blood
Wishing for the world to recognize and address significant suffering

Destroy machines
Rejecting over-reliance on technology

Fear no god
Believing in personal strength and power rather than divine intervention

(We are lost to death)
Reiterating our mortality and limited existence

(We are lost to death)
Acknowledging that death looms over us all

(We are lost to death)
Repeating this message as a somber reminder of our impermanence
