Broken Cog Lyrics
[Verse 1: Tomas Haake]
Inside
Watch the core
Of whatever we had left of our lives
The multiplications divide
We drink to quench the thirst to come
With the bones that we left the trap was sprung
[Verse 2: Tomas Haake]
Blind, ancient and malevolent
Cosmos divides
The truth is we never ever had truth in sight
We spat on this purpose
We ate of whatever was left
The chasm beneath us will open and swallow the rest
[Verse 3: Jens Kidman]
Me, the broken cog
You seem to not have understood
Knives out
Strings set in motion
You act like you're surprised
Preemptive strike
Ruin
Chaos
Focus
[Outro: Tomas Haake]
Whispers, murmurs, voices, voices
Whispers, purpose, voices, murmurs
Whispers, murmurs, voices, voices
Whispers, murmurs, voices, purpose
