So for up the river
So deep in the jungle
So last, beyond rescue

You reside in a place from which you cannot escape
So last beyond rescue

Your spirit, your soul put on hold
Contempt for life fills the new void
So last beyond rescue

So far along you cannot recall
The night the wolves claimed you

They came under the cover of night
Cloaked in good intentions
That in time turned to dust

When the primordial urge becomes the guiding logic
Humanity turns to rust

We cannot turn and run away
We cannot change what is the nature of our ways
Despite the lofty things we say
It is ourselves we praise
The higher we strife, the deeper we dig our grave

Pride cometh before the fall
And as principles are pushed out the door
Values we choose after we decide what we want to justify

We cannot turn and run away
We cannot change what is the nature of our ways
Despite the lofty things we say
It is ourselves we praise
The higher we strife, the deeper we dig our grave

We do not wish to turn away
We reject change. It is the nature of our ways
Despite the lofty things we say
It is ourselves we praise
Trying to be god, we long ago last out way

My god, what have we done
Or is this your will done?
Power emerges a shadow of the soul
To roam the earth in search of itself

We do not wish to turn away
We reject change. It is the nature of our ways
Despite the lofty things we say
It is ourselves we praise
Trying to be god, we long ago last out way

As the human mind escapes the sane
We run away. Pretend we cannot stand the sight of pain
But we cannot look away
The appeal of horror is too great
And we have ourselves to blame
We have ourselves to blame
