It begins with a spark An internal combustion beyond the boundaries of time Infinite matter condensed- The catalyst for humankind Organic atoms shift and move Chemicals react in the blink of an eye Behold, the smallest lifeform What now lives must also die Evolution's tendrils touch the smallest strains of life Unfolding before it- toil and strife Natural selection breeds impervious design Awaiting the day the universe shall be thine To reclaim what was once mine! Incandescent matter arranged into skin Ancient stardust forged into bone We are aware! We are alive! We are awaiting... Omnipotence All our achievements now laid bare before time Endless calculations done within the human mind From early civilization to the dawn of a new kind We have surpassed humanity, hopeless and blind Aeons of struggle have led to this Sovereign over all that exists Cosmic dust, refined with lethal force To destroy all those who oppose our will Omnipotence Civilizations reduced to ash Disintegrating those who defy Pitiful humans, like we once were Fuel for my wrath as millions more die Evolution's tendrils untie the threads of life Unraveling before it- toil and strife Fate predecided by the ancient abyss Every outcome would have led to this Omnipotence

Though I am but a mortal man I cast my doubts aside For this I fear has been planned From the dawn of time A marionette on a string I refuse to be For the future belongs To both you and me Rushing ever faster Repeat the process day by day Questioning, overthinking Is it wrong to feel this way? Realization strikes me I am my own beliefs An urge to find a center This wisdom lives inside me A fire ignites Lit by the flame that forms in the mind Sparks from the visions of haunted youth Become the embers that seal your tomb I cast down the wisdom In ancient books of law I forsake this knowledge I know exists inside all You'll never be my master Or my lone source of hope In seeking all the answers I will forever stand tall A flame that burns inside us all Question without an answer Never repent and never fall Become enshrined in embers A fire ignites Lit by the flame that forms in the mind Sparks from the visions of haunted youth Become the embers that seal your tomb Enshrined in embers Shall be... Shall be your tomb Though I am but a mortal man I cast my doubts aside For this I fear has been planned From the dawn of time A marionette on a string I refuse to be For the future belongs To both you and me

Aeons ago From beginnings of all time All life has evolved By fates grand design A tangled web of dissent Has bred modern man For the waging of wars Over blood and sand A defect in the minds Of those who fall in line To destroy fellow man And never question why Theocracy to captivate Ruthless rulers subjugate A primal reign inside our minds As punishment for all mankind Enslaved by nothing but figments Of our own imagination We realize what we've left behind A legacy of desolation 2,000 years have passed Since the fateful blaze began Knowledge unsurpassed Has been lost to the hate of man Hiding behind the mask of progress Such are the messengers of God To enlighten all who stand before them And wage a fictional jihad "Blasphemous traitors must be put to the sword Burn the tomes that mislead and confound Such knowledge is a burden in the eyes of the lord We must burn it all down to the ground" Self deceit driving the spirit of man Into heinous acts of violence To destroy based on race and creed Drawing lines to divide us The curse of humanity Imbued with potential to create Consumed with such vanity Leaving only destruction in our wake We've reshaped our natural geography We hold the power to make the stars fall from the sky But in our masochistic way Our race will be the first to die We hold the potential for progress And cast it all aside In search of an afterlife That eternity has denied Aeons ago From beginnings of all time All life has evolved By fates grand design A tangled web of dissent Has bred modern man For the waging of wars Over blood and sand "Now, though meek and blind We march side by side Towards the divine The stars have aligned To proclaim we've arrived On the other side" Theocracy to captivate Ruthless rulers subjugate A primal reign inside our minds As punishment for all mankind Enslaved by nothing but figments Of our own imagination We realize what we've left behind A legacy of desolation
