atmospheric passages)
[Opening — spoken over drone]
"You were colonized before you could speak
They named the cage before they put you in it
And you decorated the walls
And called it home"
[Verse 1]
The Demiurge does not sit on a throne of fire
It sits in the architecture of your desire
Every fear they planted like a seed in fertile ground
Grew into the walls you thought were keeping something out
[Chorus — heavy, slow]
The door was never locked
The door was never locked
You maintained the prison
With your own two hands
The door was never locked
[Atmospheric passage — near silence]
"Stand here
In the space between what they told you and what is
Feel how vast it is
Feel how long it has been waiting"
[Verse 2]
Mars in retrograde and still they beat the drum of war
Every generation fed the mouth behind the law
I see the sigils underneath the signatures of state
Sacred geometry inverted — turned to operate
[Outro — abrupt silence]
Something has been seen
That cannot be unseen
