"Monolith" lyrics - ERRA

Faith we abate
A perfect design of which we deprecate
We can't decipher
This suppressive surge of desire

As I watch the hands of time cradle
Circumstance and consequence, I reiterate that
The hourglass is near its end
And depleting swiftly

Trace the edge
Along this line we drew within this narrow space

Memories I can't recreate
Wreckage beyond what we could calculate
An affection that fluctuates
Familiar speech in a new tongue that I cannot translate

Who's to say
That our faith was kept in a safe place?

As we witness a weaker pulse and shallow breaths
The innocent fight to take their life back
No surrender of light from their eyes

Perpetrator
Give back what's not yours to keep
Stolen destinations of contingency
Ripped apart and vanishing

Memories I can't recreate
Wreckage beyond what we could calculate
An affection that fluctuates
Familiar speech in a new tongue that I cannot translate

These wandering eyes provide confirmation of idle actions
Holding keys to open doors we're too afraid to

Enter
We scrutinize but execution falls short
Disgust for lack of action
Cover your face with your hands and look away

Memories I can't recreate
Wreckage beyond what we could calculate
An affection that fluctuates
Familiar speech in a new tongue

Memories I can't recreate
Wreckage beyond what we could calculate
An affection that fluctuates
Familiar speech in a new tongue that I cannot translate

Perpetrator
Give back what's not yours to keep
