We Are All Left Here to Die - Steelwing

Cryonic nightmares: a hibernating breed

Alone throuhg the light-years, left to bleed…

A quick turmoil in an ever-changing sea

We are carbon waste lifeforms by chance design

On wet rock our premature lungs are gasping for air

Sliding down, down, down this steep decline

And the gods won’t tell us why

We are all left here to die

Our brains hunting for chemical relief

But this euphoria can’t touch the desensitized

Sleepwalking through an endless déjà vu

Sliding down, down, down this steep decline

And the gods won’t tell us why

We are all left here to die

We scrape the filth off of our souls

Tear the flesh off of our bones

We’ve been rotting since we were born

Still the gods won’t tell us why

We are all left here to die

In vessels designed for three decades of life

We are falling through time, holding on tight

Wondering why, why we must die

Even thousands of years down the line

And cancer will thrive on our bodies and minds

The tumors malign, but like maggots we’re blind

So we’re swarming like fles

To the last dying light

Though it’s viciously burning our eyes

We are all left here to die witnessing

This slow degeneration of the last mutation
