"Technopagans" lyrics

"Technopagans"

I watched technopagans baptized
By the reptile in the sun
In that California valley
Of Our Lady Silicon
Antichrists were bargain-priced
And the sky was oh so clear
Always sunny, always funny
And the end was always near

Yeah, I wander that antique store
Of our culture time to time
The recession of ambition
Zapped me right between the eyes
Activistic figurines
Effortlessly moral wept
While new hatesmiths forged the swords
That cut themselves across the neck

I don't love it, I don't hate it
I don't even know what's real
Yeah, the more I understand
The more misunderstood I feel
I don't fight now, I'm all right now
It may be I never learn
They say you rise up from the ashes
Why'd you ever have to burn?

With a lizard's disposition
And a lab coat for a dress
Lord, they synthesized the genuine
We all were wedding guests
Hairless wolves warned desperate sheep
Revelation's rapture's high
The benevolence of predators
Will always blow my mind

I don't love it, I don't hate it
I don't even know what's real
Yeah, the more I understand
The more misunderstood I feel
I don't fight now, I'm all right now
It may be I never learn
They say you rise up from the ashes
Why'd you ever have to burn?

A hundred smoking deputies
Tore off in search of jewels
Where's the manhunt for our reason?
The future rests in hands of fools
When that kismet asteroid hits
Bury me down in the crater
You can scream at the abyss
The abyss returns the favor

I don't love it, I don't hate it
I don't even know what's real
Yeah, the more I understand
The more misunderstood I feel
I'm all right now, I don't fight now
It may be I never learn
They say you'll rise up from the ashes
Why'd you ever have to burn?

I don't love it, I don't hate it
I don't even know what's real
Yeah, the more I understand
The more misunderstood I feel
I'm all right now, I don't fight now
It may be I never learn
They say you'll rise up from the ashes
Why'd you ever have to burn?
