Lyrics

They buried a well where the seven fell

Our volunteers die by machine
And living doors lie unforeseen now
Seal him in
Believe in
Project a means to an end
What he breaks we will mend

He'll keep it all for him
Imagine every answer With no one in his way
Dividing as he conquers
We'll send him far away from

Ad te omnis caro veniet
Spin around
And around (3x)

Underground
In river he drowns
By storm he is bound
Spin around
Stop

We're running from
Becoming one
We carve it out of stone
Our destiny to die

Are we alone? (2x)

We're coming home
Unless it means we are alone

We buried it well
No revealing tell
Where the horns above impale the sky
Forsaken born thorn in our side

Warn no one
No warning
Our memory just fades away
And the worn wears away

We'll keep it all for us
Imagine every answer
With no one in our way
Dividing as we conquer
And end up far away from

Dies irae
Dies illa solvet
Cycle on
Saeclum
Cyclone
Circling
Circuit down
In river we drown

By storm we are bound
Shut down
Down
Stop

Running from
Becoming one
You carve it out of stone
Your mystery to live and die

You are alone! (2x)

Become the one
And find someone to end the waiting

Given within a martyr that we made (dies in vain)
Riven within a gift of rending pain
Endless skain

Unwind
Dissolve in deep unknown
Leaving well alone
No one knows

And nothing will grow now
And no one's here
So no more fear
We run away from
A way of running

We are alone!

Are we alone? (7x)

We alone
All alone
We're alone

Can't run or breathe
Why can't I see
How can it begin to be
Dark and leave us all alone?

And are we alone?

Are we?
We are!
We all die alone!
