Lyrics:

Magic, science
There’s only this left
Complex antinomics -
A duel to the death

Rules were made
for only this:
To be bent and broken

How can they,
silence me,
when I haven’t spoken?

Backed into the wall
the dark is falling fast,
Forced to make a choice
Now the die is cast

Who says I can’t
Stack the deck
In my favor

Time has come to watch me conquer

So
Rise my friends
With this tiny spark of life

And
Fight my friends
Push aside this tide of night

My brilliance in your metal hands
The time has come for you to stand
So open up
And meet your maker.

Elusive calculations
Beyond what they can see
Dancing in the infinite
Eternal alchemy

Who says our lives
Are just
Points of data

We were made to last forever

So
Rise my friends
With this tiny spark of life

And
Fight my friends
Push aside this tide of night

My brilliance in your metal hands
The time has come for you to stand
So open up
And meet your maker
Open up
And meet your maker
Open up
And meet your maker
Now.

(Note: We had fun playing around with something more upbeat and ended up with something very different than our previous songs. I hope you enjoy!)
