Silent Planet - The New Eternity
[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
Mother, tell me, why do the waters make us sick?¹
Who bleeds the heavens making the clouds rain pestilence?²
Dropping fever,³
like manna from the morning sky⁴
Gather your children and hold them as they die⁵
Panic humming in the palm of my hand
Silent vectors injected with the curse of man⁶
Bodies dissected, heartbeats redirected⁷
The past was dead,⁸
why did we resurrect it?⁹
[Pre-Chorus: Thomas Freckleton]
Strange fruit¹⁰
grows on the vine¹¹
of humankind
Beneath a bright synthetic sky, I saw the future die
[Chorus: Garrett Russell & Thomas Freckleton]
A web of wires in our mind
Weaves an empire down our spine¹²
I fear we've sealed our fate
There's no escape, there's no escape: the new eternity
Strange fruit
is growing on the vine
Beneath a bright synthetic sky
I fear we've sealed our fate
There's no escape, there's no escape: the new eternity
[Breakdown: Garrett Russell]
Germinating extinction¹³
[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
The people unite when you dose¹⁴
them with fear¹⁵
Relinquish their will, let their objections disappear
Crowds galvanized by vapid words¹⁶ and septic slurs¹⁷
Utterly transfixed¹⁸ by the fiction of the "greater good"¹⁹
Estranged in this age²⁰ we set sail to the stars
Return to the earth still unaware of who we are²¹
We've come too far, we've come too far, we've come too far, it's all I know
The darkness didn't die, no, we brought it home²²
[Interlude: Garrett Russell & Thomas Freckleton]
I sowed a secret deep in the earth
But despite the world it grew, I knew all things could be made new
All things will be made new²³
[Chorus: Garrett Russell & Thomas Freckleton]
A web of wires in our mind
Weaves an empire down our spine
I fear we've sealed our fate
There's no escape, there's no escape: the new eternity
Strange fruit
is growing on the vine
Beneath a bright synthetic sky
I fear we've sealed our fate
There's no escape, there's no escape: the new eternity
[Outro: Garrett Russell]
Cross the Great Divide and see
Light and Dark collide in me
Shake the shroud of secrecy²⁴
Uproot the grim hegemony²⁵
