Beyond Oblivion Lyrics

These graves are cold and empty
He knew it's where we'd soon reside
The waves recede so gently
They only left the sands of time

(What have we done)
To the future we run
(What have we done)
Headlong without question
(What have we done)
Creations devised
(What have we done)
To put and end to all life

A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits
Beyond oblivion

A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits
Beyond oblivion

These shadows sleep so soundly
Appalled, he now averts his eyes
Disgraced, he felt so empty
Entrusting us with our demise

(What have we done)
To the future we run
(What have we done)
Headlong without question
(What have we done)
Creations devised
(What have we done)
To put and end to all life

A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits
Beyond oblivion

A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits
Beyond oblivion

Beyond oblivion
Beyond oblivion
Beyond oblivion
Beyond oblivion

A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits
Beyond oblivion

A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits
Beyond oblivion

Cover art for Beyond Oblivion lyrics by Trivium

Paolo Gregoletto (Triviums bassist) says the bands guitarist Corey Beaulieu was scrolling through his TV guide & he saw the phrase ‘Beyond Oblivion’ on a show, and wrote it down. I felt like I could make that work for a chorus, so I had to think of a theme of what that would be. I was listening to a bunch of podcasts about artificial intelligence but they were comparing the idea of the coming technology to the atomic bomb of how we created this incredibly immense, dangerous world-destructing thing in a moment when no one was really thinking of the implications. The song was viewing it from the perspective of someone that creates this sort of technology and comes to view it for what it is.
