I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Science has become a child's game.
There is no solution to bring away this plague.
No remedies have been discovered.
The cure is a shotgun, the cure is whatever blunt instrument one can salvage.
Whomever finds themselves too proper will be the first to perish.
And you know nothing that matters now.
We cannot restore (restore), we cannot recover (recover)
All is lost in the flood of the risen dead.
We cannot restore (restore), we cannot recover (recover)
All is lost in the storm of the disgraceful.
The incurable bring us our punishment.
Today's destruction can only be measured in
In biblical, biblical proportion.
Let's go
My will is at God's hand, never within man's teeth.
My will is at God's hand, never within man's teeth.
My will is at God's hand, never within man's teeth.
Always wanting more, never enough, until this day and age when there's nothing left.
Always wanting more, never enough, until this day and age when there's nothing left.
Always wanting more. Never enough.
We cannot restore (restore), we cannot recover (recover)
All is lost in the flood of the risen dead.
We cannot restore (restore), we cannot recover (recover)
All is lost in the storm of the disgraceful.
We cannot restore (restore), we cannot recover (recover)
All is lost in the flood of the risen dead.
We cannot restore, we cannot recover
All is lost in the storm of the disgraceful.
We cannot restore, we cannot recover
All is lost in the flood of the risen dead.
We cannot restore, we cannot recover
All is lost
