Philistine Philosophies

Lyrics

We saw the golden age

Digitally decay

Under ruins now

I see a carrion crow, carrion crow

Now he be championing

These philistine philosophies

This wretched industry

Keeps on spitting out clones,

Spitting out clones

​

The world we love in disarray

The world we loved became estranged

​

Lost! We're sinking, we're sinking, we're sinking now

Lost! What can we do? What's next now?

Lost! We're sinking, we're sinking

We're sinking now

Lost in an endless commentary

​

As every thought is sprouted out

All the lights go out

So hop on the wagon or

Be a mystical tree, a mystical tree

In the age of monotony

And philistine philosophies

Condensing everything into a digital hole

A digital hole

​

We see a pathetic final lap

They're falling like dominos

Falling like dominos

We see sugar coaters selling clones

Falling like dominos

Falling like dominos

​

The world we love in disarray

The world we loved became estranged

​

Well now we don't where were at because

There's too much congestion and a lack of invention

Material eyes requiring constant attention

It's the mystery lost in a web, in the well

As the spider awakes and decides what to sell

​

Hold my hand to hope we fly beyond the coal

​

You can't lose what you don't know

So you can't find what isn't gone

It's just a new era evolved

Or have we devolved?

​

Eyes seem to come through the wall

Mechanical wizardry rule

Suppressing the waves in the wool

Keep on staring at the screen

​

Losing light,

Tainting sight,

While we then light up the candle,

While stranded,

No handle on what comes next

Anti-passion makes an empty old din,

Because a fearful eye's pulling strings for thee

Watch on

Round and round and round it goes

Human nature!

Round and round and round it goes

Human nature!

Round and round and round it goes

Human nature!

Round and round and round it goes

Human nature!
