For many years I've lived in vain
Chained myself to a world of science
Unravel the mysteries of all that I am and all I want to know before I fade
The life to come will chant my name
I own the patent on modern life
I'm writing history with all that I am and all I'm gonna know before I break

Yeah, I'll remain

But the final stage is gaining speed
I'm losing grip, I'm losing hold
And the engines fail as the body heeds
Now I need to bring light to the unknown

And I see the realm beyond me
Why should I fear the end?
No, I will not die before my electric soul's transcended

But they've been betrayed
Your religious slaves
There is no god to claim your fate
And no guarantee that you'll ever face your master entity

And I see the realm beyond me
Why should I fear the end?
No, I will not die before my electric soul's transcended

For many years I've lived in pain

The time has come to violate (The rules of time)
Death has become obsolete (Science)

My eyes are open but it seems as though I'm dreaming, yeah
This isn't at all what I foresaw; I feel my soul is fading away
There is no way back, I'm denied the grace of eternity, yeah
Is this all there is for me?
Reality remains

Syndicate the final flame (Abbreviate)
A rebel in eternal shame (Remediate)
Dare to follow in my wake (Wrong way)
Truth will come to seal your fate (Banished)
Believing I'd found the way
See how my insolence implodes

And I see the realm beyond me
Why should I fear the end?
No, I will not die before my electric soul's transcended

And the cross you've learned to bear
Is the one thing that remains
No, I will not die before my electric soul is retained
