Jenova Project - Burning Down the Gates of Eden Lyrics

Nothing stays perfect the way you want it
You just gotta accept that the milk has curdled
Can you taste the waste
As it permeates
With a predictive quality
Irrelevance reigns today
Accepting of temporary securities
That's why we don't just watch
But participate in the fury
Reckless fury
We are all savages

Abound, around
Burning down the gates of Eden
One day at a time
We fling ourselves into the pit
Practical teachings
That destroy this world
As we accept it as the norm
Superior to what? I say

We are either vacant and empty
Lost in the frenzy
I see are our failings, around and abound
Around and abound
Falling into the hurricane
Caught in the winds of dissonance
We are left to comprehend
With nothing but empty hands
Collapse to the ground
Shivering, now I understand
What it is we have left behind
Only after the flood
My mortal toil is undone
How could have I not seen

Abound, around
Burning down the gates of Eden
One day at a time
We fling ourselves into the pit

Practical teachings
That destroy this world
As we accept it as the norm
Superior to what? I say
As we are either vacant and empty
Lost in the frenzy
I see are our failings, around and abound
Around and abound
