Expellow - Mayfly Lives Lyrics

In pursuit of power, in lockstep ahead
We're plundering, murdering, driven by greed
Deprived of our empathy, building this world
Sustained by the ashes of voices
Unheard - tongues long ripped out of their songbirds
Wings crippled, souls fading from here
Vanishing point
The arms we've deployed
Come around, siren sounds, hitting ground

There is nothing left to say, as we spiral, hold me tight
Our salvation burning bright
Perished with our mayfly lives
We're past the point of trying, yet can't accept we're dying
Til no sun in space and time outlives our mayfly lives

Drunk on abundance, betraying our oaths
Not recognizing the knives at our throats
Preying on us from the unknown abyss
We thought we were gods now we suffer the
Fallout - seeing our time slowly run out
Too proud to admit that we're at fault
Too late to turn back
Abandoned by luck in a sky for a sky shoot out

There is nothing left to say, as we spiral, hold me tight
Our salvation burning bright
Perished through our mayfly lives
We're past the point of trying, yet can't accept we're dying
Til no sun in space and time outlives our mayfly lives
