A Modern Synthesis - Vestigial Fangs

Carnivorous beings creep around unseen
With a stalker's stillness
Their golden glowing eyes
Keep staring back at me
We haven't caught our breaths in weeks
Nothing but the rhythmic beating of soft sod beneath our feet
Our skin glows; bleached a ghostly white
Step out of the shadows, my children, and bathe in the ever-callous light
We can't afford to make a sound
Lest we get found out
The world may force a change
But know you're not stuck in place
Cast out into the wilderness
With only primal fangs to bare
In survival of the fittest
I'm not even there
Cast out into the wilderness with
Only these primal fangs to bare
In survival of the fittest
I'm not even there...
Here or anywhere
In between
For I've long vacated this body
The shamanistic visions I prayed for
Were nothing more than mere fever dreams
I can feel the earth still thirsts for blood
An urban canopy of rebar and concrete begins to swallow us up
So, lift your lacerated hands up to the heavens
And grasp at the last light beam plunging down
Your bruised bramble mitts reach to meet the hand of God
Bless me, Machina, for soon we'll all be gone
God dammit, I'm awake again
God dammit, I'm awake...
The world will try to force a change
But, no, you're not stuck in
Cast out into the wilderness with
Only these primal fangs to bare
Yeah, it's survival of the fittest
We're all well aware...
HA!
Cast out into the wilderness
With these primal fangs to bare
It's survival of the fittest
In this scorched-earth warfare
So thrust me out into the great unknown
Where their barren bones walk the littered streets
We're predators on the prowl now
They're fading carbon
They're obsolete
