[Ominous spoken voice] "And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat; But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shout surely die!" [Intro] [instrumental build—wailing guitars, rolling drums, stormy atmosphere] [Verse 1] I called your name through burning skies, No answer came, just hollow signs. You made the laws, you set the stage, Then left us here in fear and rage. You gave us minds, you gave us doubt, A thirst for more, then cast us out. What kind of god would forge the key, Then damn the hands that break it free? [Pre-Chorus] I’ve searched the stars, I’ve scoured the deep— Where are you now? Why do you sleep? [Chorus] Where is the master, where is the guide? Where is the answer to our cries? We search the void, we beg, we plead, No god, no hope—just the absentee. [Verse 2] We built our towers toward the sun, You watched them fall, you spared no one. Is this the fate you had in mind, A world betrayed, a race confined? The floods, the flames, the wars we've fought, Was this your will, or are you naught? If you exist, then speak to me— Or are we ruled by entropy? [Pre-Chorus] I’ve searched the stars, I’ve scoured the deep— Where are you now? Why do you sleep? [Chorus] Where is the master, where is the guide? Where is the answer to our cries? We search the void, we beg, we plead, No god, no hope—just the absentee. [Solo] [wailing guitars, fast runs, bending into sorrowful melody] [Bridge] The silence lingers, cold and deep, No guiding hand, no voice to speak. The only gods we’ve ever known, Abandoned us to walk alone. [Breakdown] [heavy, stomping riff, tribal drums] If you won’t answer, I’ll make my own! I’ll carve my fate in blood and stone! [Final Chorus] Where is the master, where is the guide? Where is the answer to our cries? We search the void, we beg, we plead, No god, no hope—just the absentee. [Outro] [instrumental fade—eerie, ringing notes, distant thunder] [END]
