lyrics

Born in a new age
Before the next altar I bow
It reminds me of my place
Just another faceless soul
That makes no sound

Come on and enlighten me
Tell me what I was put here to do
To keep running in my place
Stay quiet, pay no mind and consume
Just one more hour wasted
Another afternoon is spent
Zoned out and in a daze
Unaware of what could have been

A better way of life
Answers to modern plights
In this age of lies
A chance to seek the light

Born in a new age
Before the next altar I bow
It reminds me of my place
Just another faceless soul
That makes no sound

Mentally castrated
Can I face what I am?
Flaccid and so inept
Faithless in all attempts
I believe it won’t get better
