Mithridatic

(album: Unparalleled Universe - 2017)

We are inert resurrected
Countless times from an archaic past
Salvaged parts reprocessed machines
The pick of the human ash heap

The primal spark dissipates
Carbon cast of a carbon cast

Gears turning without teeth
Half life growing shorter
Decay as a threshold
The break down of our constraints

The primal spark dissipates
Carbon cast of a carbon cast

On a long enough timeline we are all built to break
Cancerous abiotic enemy within
Mithridatic vessel collected works of sentience
Build immunity to life fully embrace its end
Cellular composition rendered obsolete
Radiation burns traces of longevity

A diaspora of life
Vomited forth from the
The noble death of stars
Cosmic parody

The primal spark dissipates
Carbon cast of a carbon cast

Elaborate mechanisms spreading the disease
Unfortunate side effects of baser tendencies
Resist the urge follow cardinal genetic marker tasks
Sterilize this planet make this the generations last

Mithridatic vessel collected works of sentience
Build immunity to life fully embrace its end
