A Pyrrhic Victory For Humanity

by Havok

on Being And Nothingness (2009)

I'm evolving upwards, forwards
Running, seeing, feeling
I shift from dust to water to dust
In all my grace I'm kneeling

The peace of danger left behind
Easliy, willingly, passionately
I comprehend the weakness of my kind
And embrace all the ways I'm confined

I'm awaken by sudden realization
Of my pyrrhic victory
Can anyone vindicate my creation
Or am I nothing but this contradictory

I'm a boulder in a world of water
A petrified statue in rush hour
Paralyzed, numb, cold
A king of gravel released from his power

Flickering vivid colour schemes
Changing from black to white to black
Amongst the side-scenes screams
Of cold bodies aching to attack

The great prize of life
To vanquish and to be vanquished
A gold medallion in chains
Weighing a hundred tons
