Evolution's Prayer: Unveiling a New Path to Clarity
Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

Now! Peel the skin back from the flesh

Immediate call to action, metaphorical removal of barriers

Steal the flesh back from the starving static minds

Reclaiming individuality from societal conformity

From nature we must stray, to clarity we'll climb

Straying from natural inclinations towards mental clarity

Deadly impulse seems so natural

Instinctual impulses feel inherently deadly


Just look beyond it and we'll find

Encouragement to seek a different perspective

A brand new evolution

Anticipation of a new phase of development

Here begins a brand new line

Commencement of a fresh path or direction

And in the distance there's a gathering

Reference to a gathering, a coming together

That no longer seems so far away

A once distant event now appears closer


Pushed to our knees so let us pray

Suggests submission and reliance on prayer

And all together we'll bring the real rain

Collective action leading to significant change

Watch all that's wasted wash away

Observation of wasted elements being washed away

So let it come, our will be done

Acceptance and willingness for an event to occur


Stature retrieved, regain our form

Reclaiming one's stature and identity

Break free from instinct that's left us all confined

Breaking free from societal constraints

From nature we must stray to clarity we'll climb

Departing from established norms for clarity

Tradition ingrained, now impermissible

Traditional practices becoming unacceptable


Just look beyond it and we'll find

Encouragement to seek a different perspective

A brand new evolution

Anticipation of a new phase of development

Here begins a brand new line

Commencement of a fresh path or direction

And in the distance there's a gathering

Reference to a gathering, a coming together

That no longer seems so far away

A once distant event now appears closer


Pushed to our knees so let us pray

Suggests submission and reliance on prayer

And all together we'll bring the real rain

Collective action leading to significant change

Watch all that's wasted wash away

Observation of wasted elements being washed away

So let it come, our will be done

Acceptance and willingness for an event to occur


I can't help but fear, look to my species and tremble

Fearful observation of humanity's actions

To think that God is just God

Skepticism about traditional views of God

And in the distance there's a gathering

Reference to a gathering, a coming together

That no longer seems so far away

A once distant event now appears closer


Pushed to our knees so let us pray

Suggests submission and reliance on prayer

And all together we'll bring the real rain

Collective action leading to significant change

Watch all that's wasted wash away

Observation of wasted elements being washed away

So let it come, our will be done

Acceptance and willingness for an event to occur

Go, go, go

Go, go, go
