Lead single off of The Aphelion's debut album, The Labour Division, out August 17th

lyrics

Bred into dystopia
Bled into your thoughts
“How could we disobey?”

Fundamental element which has decimated our own kind
I leave this for you, my son. You will never see the light

Oh the humanity, oh the young and old did cry
As the bombs fell overhead, never did we question why
All the dreams we kept, all the hopes we had
Taken away from us, watch them falling from the sky

The earth sodden with
The blood of
The heroes you
Left for dead
In the new periphery, no refuge
No amity
Freezing veins
Once more we go
Into the glow of the cold morning light
Never ceasing, we draw our
Final breath

Sent off into the world, good intentions and a smile
Mistrust we cradled, now we’re bathing in denial

Gods and men
Bleeding all just the same
All wondering who's to blame
For all of the chaos seen here
Thinking the end draws near
And if ever the smoke clears
Who still remains?

They did all speak of this, just to be turned away
And here we stand, all dumbfounded, with nothing left to say
Wanderlust and apathy, praying to our final hour
Bloated and overfed by all the promises devoured

Sickness overturns all the progress we have made
Overbearing blackness, an apex of what we know

What we know
Where we always knew the winding path did go
All the wise
With their backs to the middle, grasping blindly for the light
At the end
When all the agony and the calamity did come
Biding time
Until the chaos takes us all, wipes the slate clean
Oh they'll wipe it clean.

Ancestral remains, eternal domain
Oppressively shamed, forever we wait
Ancestral remains, eternal domain
