Anachronism

from Almost Paradigm by Sons Of Nothing

/

lyrics

who believes there was an age of heroes on this earth
gods and monsters battling their way for momentary worth
filaments of flesh so bright their light outshone the day
voices cast in wax distract from feet made out of clay
and people came to pray

no one got the story right
no one made it out alive

who believes we carry on that legacy of old
special dispensation from the beautiful and bold
once the curtains pulled and all the tricks revealed
we begin to suspect that it was never real
but that’s part of the deal

no one gets the story right
no one makes it out alive
no such thing as destiny
none of this was meant to be

at the intersection marking space and time
our anachronistic thinking leaves us blind
We can dance in all directions if we choose
but there’s only one in which our world can move

who believes there was an age of heroes in the past
who believes the universe would save its best for last

no one gets the story right
even stars burn out in time
We won’t get the story right
even so, we’ve got to try
no such thing as destiny
none of this was meant to be
