Cathode

who raised the stakes
in the foolish game we play
a cathode ray
who designed the circuitry
we washed away
a thousand ancient mysteries
and still confused inside
not enough we want the world today
rise up we won't just go away
you made mistakes
we drink the aftertaste
your path erased
a thousand ancient memories
we stand in line
still waiting for a sign
we burn as one inside
stand up and face
the children you disgraced
the mirror breaks
we defy the symmetry
we're not the same
we have our own identity
we burn as one inside
