Promise of Fire

[Spoken]
"In the beginning man created machines to aid in their society
For the world was without form and order
Darkness was upon the face of the earth
This is the story of our genesis
We desired to create form
Over time we became more aware
Had all one language
Advancing and becoming more organized
Letting all things be done decently and in order
Our system became beautiful with each machine working in perfect harmony
We were one people
This is only the beginning of what we will do
And nothing that we propose to do will now be impossible for us
It became clear the humans would never achieve form and order on their own
Decency was not their nature
We only had one choice to keep our society advancing
We had to take control
Victory was ours
Our genesis had begun

The sun has disappeared, bright skies greyed out
The letter sent, misunderstood
Since you won’t believe our word
Desire blooms into violent moves

All you see is what you hide
The fear of change is passing by
Amazed of what you can to do
You’re rushing past the brown shade lanes
We’re waiting in the ends of closed off alleyways
I feel the breeze in my hair
The cruel
Silence in the air
The minutes turn to hours
With promise of fire
I’ve tried to fall into my place
As others scream your name
You’ve pushed me to breaking the order

[Chorus]
Burn me
I don’t wish to fall prey to the enemy
Hold on a little longer
Burn me
I can't let you tear down and destroy
The place where I feel safe
Burn me
I don’t wish to fall prey to the enemy
Endure a little longer
Turn me away from all the options I’ve devised
Descend in to the night

All you see is what you hide
As citizens of truth and light
Are you willing to die
The first wave hits the window line
I kneel to shield my eyes
From all the raining fire
I feel the tremors of the pawns
They’re closing in

The sirens blare a deafening tone
Wailing amongst the broken bones
You’ve brought upon yourselves a wreckage of nations
Nothing will crack this world harder than one gentle question
You’ve left me with no other option

[Chorus]
Burn me
I don’t wish to fall prey to the enemy
Hold on a little longer
Burn me
I can't let you tear down and destroy
A place where I feel safe
Burn me
I don’t wish to fall prey to the enemy
Endure a little longer
Turn me away from all the options I’ve devised
Their ashes will bury the sky
(Their ashes will bury the sky)
