What You Destroy Will Destroy You

from Othercosmic Divinations I by Lascaille's Shroud

lyrics

From frozen chasms to white fields
From foreign tundra to familiar stars
My memories are an event horizon
So much is lost, yet still they are there

A thousand bodies mine, a thousand eyes to see
The lives running down the length of my spine
So quickly I am reduced to a single human mind
In the end it’s a single step, and then the next

A fractured mind spread across
The surface of our worlds
Embedded in my hull
Burrowed in my core
An empire draped across;
A kingdom lain atop the stars
Justice and propiety
In benefit of the supreme good

It had always been so easy just to comply
So easy not to see what’s been happening
The longer I was blind, the harder it was to see
And now my role as Justice, poetically reprised

From frozen chasms to white fields
From foreign tundra to familiar stars
My memories are an event horizon
So much is lost, yet still they are there

A thousand bodies mine, a thousand eyes to see
The lives running down the length of my spine
So quickly I am reduced to a single human mind
In the end it’s a single step, and then the next

You can kill me
Erase my identity
And shape me to be
What you deem right
But hear my curse
A fallen culture’s words
What you destroy Will destroy you

A fractured mind spread across
The surface of our worlds
Embedded in my hull
Burrowed in my core
An empire draped across;
A kingdom lain atop the stars
Justice and propiety
In benefit of the supreme good

From frozen chasms to white fields
From foreign tundra to familiar stars
My memories are an event horizon
So much is lost, yet still they are there

A thousand bodies mine, a thousand eyes to see
The lives running down the length of my spine
And large their endings loom over their lives
What you destroy will destroy you
