And on the open road we came to a sign
For it was foretold that the weak would inherit
And nothing would change
Here we are at the crossroads, standing face to back
Still afraid to see our eyes
I feel helpless and alone, trapped on the third stone
Sitting here sideways on a cold stone floor
My guitar gently bleeding and wanting more
When I heard a sound come rapping, tapping on my door
Hello, I'm happy to meet you
In your confidence is it safe?
Sit down, I'm happy to greet you
To feed your greedy dog at the edge of the stage?
But before, before you slam the door
Tell me when, tell me why, tell me what this fucking life is for
We fly through this godless endeavor
We try to explain the black forever
I feel helpless and alone, trapped on the third stone
I feel permanently stoned, this godless endeavor the only cage I've known
Our organic equation has shown its flaw
Can we agree to disagree on the concept of God?
As I lifted up my brother he said to me
"Abandon naïve realism, surrender thought in cold precision"
I feel empty and deranged, denied one last epiphany and ushered from the stage
Thou shalt not question, the role of science is not to eliminate God
As alternative gods multiply science stands accused of theocide
Consume, conform
Consume, conform
The children sitting in the trees, they turn to laugh at me
They tell me that I'm insane, but in my mind I know I'm to blame
Alone within my lunacy, dementia fills the void within me
No testament, prayer or diseased lament can heal my wounds
They are so discontent
All the faithful fall onto their knees
And praise the priests of industrial disease
We contemplate oblivion as we resonate our dissonance
In godless random interpretation
The universe still expands, mankind still can't understand
How to define you, so hide your face and watch us exterminate ourselves over you
Welcome to the end my friend, the sky has opened
For it was foretold that the weak would inherit
And nothing would change
Here we are at the crossroads, standing face to back
Still afraid to see our eyes
I feel helpless and alone, trapped on the third stone
Sitting here sideways on a cold stone floor
My guitar gently bleeding and wanting more
When I heard a sound come rapping, tapping on my door
Hello, I'm happy to meet you
In your confidence is it safe?
Sit down, I'm happy to greet you
To feed your greedy dog at the edge of the stage?
But before, before you slam the door
Tell me when, tell me why, tell me what this fucking life is for
We fly through this godless endeavor
We try to explain the black forever
I feel helpless and alone, trapped on the third stone
I feel permanently stoned, this godless endeavor the only cage I've known
Our organic equation has shown its flaw
Can we agree to disagree on the concept of God?
As I lifted up my brother he said to me

Whether or not someone believes in God, or multiple gods has NOTHING to do with their intellect. I don't believe science will ever prove or disprove the existence of God or the supernatural.
Whether You're christian, atheist, muslim, jew, scientologist, hindu etc. the one thing We all have in common is the fact that We're all human beings. So let's start treating eachother like human beings.
God Bless You All!!
PEACE!!
P.S. Jeff Loomis is the shit
Dane once again gave us a lyrical masterpiece.
I really like songs with lyrics that make you think and I like Nevermore's choice of words:
"the role of science is not to eliminate god" science is used to explain the world, but it was not designed as an alternative religion or to disprove the existence of God.
"I feel empty and deranged, denied one last epiphany and ushered from the stage" he wants to believe in God, but since he is used to logic and reason and doesn't want to make a blind leap of faith, he is hoping that God will appear to him and prove his existence.
Lyrically, I interpret this song to simply be about nihilism, or the belief in nothing, and also, somewhat about misanthropy (fear and hatred of fellow humans) as well.
> "Our organic equation has shown its flaw"

>cannot find the answer.
I think it's more like traverse to people who say that science is their religion. This lines says "your equations, theories, and all other worth shit"
Or it may also be about perish of mankind.
>“Abandon naive realism, surrender thought in cold precision”
>seems to mean that what his "brother" is telling him to do is to
>give up trying to find the answers he is looking for because his
>"organic flaw" prevents him from doing so.
Or it may be turn into true belief. Don't dig into science, don't try to prove anything, to make crazy theories, just believe.

>Science does not eliminate your "God." It creates more gods

Great interpretation and explenation here.. : )
