ERRA - Monolith lyrics

Faith we abate
A perfect design of which we deprecate
We can't decipher this suppressive
Surge of desire as I watch the hands of
Time cradle circumstance and consequence
I reiterate that the hourglass is near
It's end and depleting swiftly
Trace the edge along this line we
Drew within this narrow space

Memories I can't recreate
Wreckage beyond what we could calculate
An affection that fluctuates
Familiar speech in a new tongue
That I cannot translate

Who's to say that our faith was
Kept in a safe place? As we witness a weaker
Pulse and shallow breaths
The innocent fight to take their life back
No surrender of light from their eyes
Perpetrator, give back what's not
Yours to keep
Stolen destinations of contingency
Ripped apart and vanishing

Memories I can't recreate
Wreckage beyond what we could calculate
An affection that fluctuates
Familiar speech in a new tongue
That I cannot translate

These wandering eyes provide confirmation
Of idle actions holding keys to open doors
We're too afraid to enter
We scrutinize, but execution falls short
Disgust for lack of action
Cover your face with your hands and look away

Memories I can't recreate
Wreckage beyond what we could calculate
An affection that fluctuates
Familiar speech in a new tongue
Memories I can't recreate
Wreckage beyond what we could calculate
An affection that fluctuates
Familiar speech in a new tongue
That I cannot translate

Perpetrator, give back what's not
Yours to keep
