Devolution Lyrics

Rivers of Time

The rivers of time, ebb through our minds

Each progress we claim, watch a new course unwind

As the sea approaches, eyes on the horizon

And as water flows onwards, a subtle breeze hints the end

Of forged illusions of reality

Of fake delusions of morality

Devolution of humanity

For Peace

Gazing out from my window, I watch another sun rise from the clouds

Staring at the lives around me, is this the shore that we found?

Victims of a brutal crime

Profits of a brilliant mind

Conversation: New man

We fly across the skies, turn the day into night

We sweep across the lands, no limit to our might

Scouring the oceans, piecing the secrets of life

Builders like angels, beauty beyond delight

Cure for all diseases, immortality will arise

Evolving through the ages, eternity in our sight

Victims of a brutal crime

Profits of a brilliant mind

Choice

The water's rising around us drowning endeavors behind

The tide of end upon watching the fears unwind

The waves rock our boat, the anchors breaks away from its hold

The fork approaches near the choice between the shallow or deeper side

View

As the new man smiles away, he revels in the midday time

As the old man stares to the ground, he listens to twilight's chime

As the proud sun shines away, no end to the gleaming day

As the rain pours to the ground, it washes all the dreams away

Conversation Reprise: Old Man

We fly across the skies, playing God with our machines

We sweep across the lands, misguided in our beliefs

Scouring the oceans, following the blind

Building like angels, colossal in their disguise

Cure for all diseases, masking the actual plight

Evolving through the ages, the end in our sight
