Collapse Lyrics - Terminal Redux - Vektor

We don't belong at these heights 

Watching over all 

We've come to the point of the obelisk 

Impaled as we fall 

Collapse under the weight of time 

In this still life of our design 

Collapse into a great resolve 

Everything falls 

A broken image reflects from a shattered surface 

Its shards of truth cut clean their meaning, our purpose 

A tearful dawn sheds light 

On what we have become 

We were not meant to live like this 

No life, no freedom 

Collapse under the weight of time 

In this still life of our design 

Collapse into a great resolve 

Everything falls 

A broken image reflects from a shattered surface 

Its shards of truth cut clean their meaning, our purpose 

To struggle, to glean, to want, to bleed 

We've bided time 

We've traveled to distant worlds 

On our quest for knowledge and power 

We've traced the galactic whorls 

And now full circle 

Unfulfilled by what we've seen 

This is it, one galaxy 

Out of the shadows, my silhouette is torn 

Freed from the darkness, I see my vile form 

Bleeding out from a spiral clade 

This is all I have 

This is all that I have 

To live, to die, to lose our pride 

To accept our fate. Life is not ours to dictate 

Stagnation is death in a constitution of progress 

Now at the zenith there is nowhere left, nowhere left to go but down 

Ruling in the present while the future eludes us 

The further we push forward, the harder it becomes to look back 

To struggle, to glean, to want, to bleed 

To live, we must die. We live to die
