Carbon Lyrics

A million points of light

Ascending to the sky

Monuments in darkness

Standing watch

Until the sun will rise

Screaming to an emptiness

Of how we once defined ourselves

With our hands over our eyes

Claiming all of creation



What inspires in us this madness

That out existence should be defined

By a light that can't be seen by anyone

What inspires in us this madness

That out existence should be defined

By a light that we can't see

By a light that can't be seen



A million points of light

Ascending to the sky

Monuments in darkness

Standing watch

Until the sun will rise

I can't see this all as progress

How did we come this far?

When we see ourselves as deities

Claiming Nature for ourselves

By our actions we betray

The instincts in our race

By our blindness and stupidity

We kill everything

We kill... everything



Can someone see our self destruction?

Are we reminding ourselves

That our existence is

So delicate

That without this light we are no more

That without this light we've made we are no more



A million points of light

Ascending to the sky

Monuments in darkness

Standing watch

Until the sun will rise

We torch this earth until it bleeds

Rain ashes from the sky

Just to make a light that no one can see

We cut this earth until it bleeds

Rain ashes from the sky

Just to make a light that no one can see

Just to make a light

Just to make a light

We kill everything

By our blindness and stupidity

We kill... everything



in 1000 years what will be our legacy

a million lights that no one can see

a million points of light
