Excavations

Like sparks cast from flint Life descents into the unseen The time we spend on this bulb Finding ways to survive The story of our kind Written in sand and stone Excavating layer by layer The unwritten guidelines within earth Diplomatic immunity versus civil revolt Change of power Governments overthrown Negotiating the new way of life For a future to come On the crusade ready to be assassinated To become one with the layers To be captured by time and aging Turned to stone by the earth Excavations of our history Fossilized in the future we'll be Excavations Layers of life Layers of death Buried deep down underground For ages we used rocks and steel to crush bone Layers of life / Layers of death Buried deep down underground For ages we used rocks and steel to crush bone To evolve to where we are now The everlasting struggle The ways we battle our enemies Pens versus swords Written through time in the lifeline of earth The everlasting struggle The ways we battle our enemies Pens versus swords Written through time in the lifeline of earth Excavations Layers of life Layers of death Buried deep down underground For ages we used rocks and steel to crush bone To evolve to where we are now
