Tuatara

Sleep the world away
Waiting for a sign
You still won't understand
It's not like that
Your overwhelming fear is holding you down
Until you hold your breath and open your eyes

Take a breath
Hold it in your lungs
In a moment you'll feel it
As consciousness eludes you
Your template is faded
Your will's long out-dated
What of this paradise?
You won't find it in the sky

It's over
The law condemned you like it always would
The in the end there's only time

No religion's going to make it to the end of the world
No religion's going to make it through the great divide

And with all the progress we have made here
The common man won't even understand
Despite the walls we continue to walk in the dark
And bridge the gap to what we see and what we're yet to believe
The only promise we continue to know is fear

What makes us human is not what made us
But only how we came to be
