[Verse 1]

Rush faster on the one-way lane

The answers so silent

Rusty gods in their machine-mind armours

Grind our souls in the millstone of time

The deathbed harvest is a dead man's banquet

Of mould ridden bread and black, poisoned wine


[Chorus]

And we go, and we go, and we go, and we go

Our steps so silent

And we go, and we go, and we go

Our blooded trace

The Jester Race


[Verse 2]

Calling out to the gathered masses

Their answers so silent

Their answers so silent


[Chorus]

And we go, and we go, and we go, and we go

Our steps so silent

And we go, and we go, and we go

Our blooded trace

The Jester Race


[Verse 3]

Embracing the tools of the neo-wolf age

That speak of silence and silence alone

Offering the tokens, the reliced idols

To the heirs of the newly raped ground

Inferior even to the transparent winds

Lesser in the motion and sound


[Chorus]

And we go, and we go, and we go, and we go

Our steps so silent

And we go, and we go, and we go, and we go

Our blooded trace

The Jester Race


[Verse 4]

There is no trace of me

In their altered blueprints of life

Gaia impaled on their horns and lances

The fumes from her body give chase

As the strong of blind men savour the scent

Dream-dead from Prosaic and hate


[Interlude]

"Sunwind strokes the ElectroHeart

Ignition roars through the corridors

Stream launching the binary vessels"


[Bridge]

Vanities in extreme formations

Ride into tomorrow's rigid great face

The Machinery outlives the futile scripts

Of our dying jester race


[Guitar Solo]


[Outro]

Embracing the tools of the neo-wolf age

That speak of silence and silence alone

There is no trace of me

In their altered blueprints of life

Embracing the tools of the neo-wolf age

That speak of silence and silence alone

There is no trace of me

In their altered blueprints of life
