about
Among rising tensions between Vincent and Christopher, Vincent explores the World Library to research why nothing has changed in their world. He comes across the Bible, from which he learns that Jesus, the son of Christopher, had always been a part of their world. As he reads various other texts, he begins to understand that the mission had not only failed, but, in some way, contributed to the apocalypse, however unintentionally.
lyrics
Time moves slowly
Move towards the center
So incomplete
If we try
Then what's left to say here
But that the old world
Has come anew
All we know is "we know nothing"
At all
If we listen to the bastard's father
Are we bastard's as well
Who speaks for the people
When you speak for this machine that you've build?
Who have we to blame
When the world goes up
In flames again
Did we build everything
Just to burn it?
Son of James,
Do you fancy yourself a god?
We only know what we can fathom
Outside of space
The words are dust
Oh, but a few
He lived for us
And died for you
He died to kiss their dirty mouths
They took their sticks and stones
And built, they built a better house
Of whiskey and bones
Did love then stand a chance,
As they let their Devils dance,
We must never let the old world become again
Move towards the center
So incomplete
If we try
Then what's left to say here
But that the old world
Has come anew
All we know is "we know nothing"
At all
If we listen to the bastard's father
Are we bastard's as well
Who speaks for the people
When you speak for this machine that you've build?
Who have we to blame
When the world goes up
In flames again
Did we build everything
Just to burn it?
Son of James,
Do you fancy yourself a god?
We only know what we can fathom
Outside of space
The words are dust
Oh, but a few
He lived for us
And died for you
He died to kiss their dirty mouths
They took their sticks and stones
And built, they built a better house
Of whiskey and bones
Did love then stand a chance,
As they let their Devils dance,
We must never let the old world become again
