The Human Abstract - Antebellum lyrics

rate me

We fell asleep in arms that fondled our teeth and sold them off to thieves

Now we sell ourselves around

Only time will tell if stories like these will share the same fate

Regiments of disconnects emerge in a moronic gentleman's war with their

Eyes, their eyes blindfolded they rise

The battlefields are colored with the ignominy stained creed, with their

Eyes, their eyes blindfolded they rise into this world

Kneeling and trembling before him

We fell asleep in arms that fondled our teeth and sold them off to thieves,

Now we sell ourselves around.

Waiting on knowledge, fed to us with a plastic spoon.

Consuming the scraps, of the misquoted and deceased, with every word spoken

Today

Make what you will and understand, a typical feud nurtured, over many moons

Passed

Regiments of disconnects emerge in a moronic gentleman's war with their

Eyes, their eyes blindfolded they rise

The battlefields are colored with the egnominy stained creed, with their

Eyes, their eyes blindfolded they rise into this world

Beyond the drought worn hillside, a figure appears as the cumulus over us

Darkens, we look up to face our fears

And by the rise of his all powerful hand, he sets vengeance and proclaims

"Follow me or be crushed to the depths of weak mannered simpletons. You

Have nowhere to hide, bow before me."

The regiment's morale dwindles

As they stare at me I yell, "As we perish may our blood that spills, be not

Taken in vain, giving us eternal continuance."

And as he slaughtered them all one by one, I watched from a distance,

Waiting for the chance to raise my hand

"No more, will I be under your manipulation"

I thrust forward, with my perceptive glove, gathering all my strength, thou

Shalt now disappear,

Bruised and beaten, severed head in hand.

The archetype has failed.

We'll never forget...
