"Echo" lyrics

Reflect on all the time spent, this is where the lies end

I was born and I have learned to hate
I have learned to separate the soul from flesh
I have learned that it is not my breath
But that of a God I do not know of beliefs I am told to hold
I will let this go

"The only way through this terror of life is this divine light"
Have a look and read with me
God said, Allah said
Abraham, Judas
They demand, they demand such small things
So you can be pardoned for your sins

Oh, what do I have to be sorry for?
I have learned to fail
One small sip from the grail of your sins father
Teach me things I dare not dream (I dare not dream)

Teach me things to make sense of it all
Why do I breathe so shallow now?
Why can I not remember the faces of those I love?
I am slowly fading away
Oh pity to us
Our great Gods are finer in robes of cotton
Of braille in bones
This blood and tears I can feel in each seam
I dare not ask anymore, I dare not dream

Bury me slowly
So I do not know how I suffocate
Bury me slowly
So I may reproduce this hate
Let me teach it to my sons and daughters
Let them know what I am by making them the only man I ever knew
How can I get through to you?
Ugh

Volatile and fragile, we are children bearing children
Failures of our fathers
And their fathers
And
The fathers before and fathers before them

So we are taught
What have we learned?

And when we dissipate into the fibres of the earth, nothing will remain
Convolute with oneself
To embark from the shade
To reach full potential

Memories will shatter like glass
Ignore distress and disorder
Before it will be too late to see what could have been
What could have been
