Lyrics Abandoned - Denominate

Abandoned

We were betrayed!
Tied to the ground by morally binding chains
Collateral for the only cause
Genocide to counter extinction
We are the leftovers
Scraps and shards of a divided whole
Separated by sheer will to survive
To kill
«If nothing is lost, nothing is gained»
The lesson we once believed
«The power is ours, the power to leave»
We’re breaking the chain…
No longr forced down by gravity
Free to leave, lave us behind
A stairway of corpses, towards the sky
Were we betrayed?
Forcefully grounded, insignificant by necessity
A stepping stone for survival
Continuation at the cost of humanity
Holding on to what little life we have left
Crazed and panicked frightened rats
Unable to abandon our spherical ship
Lost out on a shoreless ocean of empty motion
Slowly crushed under infinite waves of ice…
We believed there was a way
Trusted the few who said they knew how
Comfortably oblivious of the consequences
The sacrifices we were forced to make
Willingly following our fraudulent call
Without guiding stars, alone in the dark
On a derelict orb as temperature continues to fall
To fall…
We were Betrayed!
On a desolate corpse forsaken and cast away
Sacrificed for a chance to repeat everything
The missing links of a broken chain
