Homo Economicus Lyrics

truth appears in light, falsehood rules in power
to see these things to be is cause of grief each hour

morals carved in stone wither under the tide
entropy, eating from the inside
in the throes of progress there is no life
synthetic light illuminates the blind
old man you are falling behind
old man you are stuck in time
the old gods have abandoned you
the new ones have no use for you

truth appears in light falsehood rules in power
to see these things to be, is cause of grief each hour
Knowledge, why didst thou come,
to wound and not to heal?

the owl of athena spreads it's wings tonight
the burial ground cries for more time
what a cruel joke has time played on us
we build our crimson world now we watch it rust
what a cruel joke has ambition played on us
we sacrificed each other now prometheus laughs
