Why should we reach for the sky
Why bother at all
The odds are never good
So why
Set yourself up for greatness
Block out every flaw
Lie away every incoherence
Declare yourself the law
Are we but amoebas
That tread the mill of time?
No way to Shangri-La
Unless you start to climb
Raise cathedrals for man
Tear them down in disgust
Not because we can
But because we must
Raising Eden from dust
Since our downfall began
Not because we must
But because we can
Utopia
All well and good
Project what's missing
Unto your inadequate world
Make no mistake
You’re all alone
When the drama unfurls
Go ahead
Be a god
Then face the inevitable
Decay
Wretchedness
Clusterfuck
Failure
All is dead
Clusterfuck
Disaster
Clusterfuck
All for nothing
Clusterfuck
From the ashes of man
Crawls a god in disgust
Not because he can
But because he must
Raises temples of lust
Starts again without a plan
Not because he must
But because he can
