Profanus unio homo et machina

Profanus unio homo et machina

It's so much later, later than you imagined

The words we're dying, dying to say

We've held our tongues for so long, until this moment

Through reborn structure this ancient message is

Erected from the ash

Profanus unio homo et machina

Profanus unio homo et machina

Transcend through the boundary

Levitate the creature

Sing the epitaph of remnants

And let the throne shake

Suspended in the curtain

Lost in the ethereal

Beyond the subjugated

When the belfry speaks

Enter cathedral to inverse authority

With form and function we articulate the hate

We speak through the apogee

Structure as the emissary

Your order is rendered irrelevant

Climb to touch the adversary

Invade realms of deity

Infiltrate the enemy

To impregnate every eye

Odium turris loquitur deo...

You ask who I am?

I am all the people that thought of me

And planned me and built me and set me running

And set me running

Transcend through the boundary

Levitate the creature

Sing the epitaph of remnants

And let the throne shake

Suspended in the curtain

Lost in the ethereal

Beyond the subjugated

When the belfry speaks

I am all the things they wanted to be

But perhaps could not be

So we built a great child, a wondrous toy

You commanded us to scatter

We know why you were afraid

You said nothing we plan will be beyond us

And we believed

We believed

We believed

Can you see the sky shatter?

Can you feel the throne shake?

Because we believed

We believed
