hermitofthewoods - 10,000 b.c. lyrics

[verse 1]
10,000 bc, remembered in spear tips and bone
explain away what some claim is vague and unknown
we have grown and disowned ourselves completely
slaves to the ways we perceive ourselves uniquely
sabre-toothed tiger survivors
alive and thriving in the taiga
like a man without a line to be tied to
before borders and torture and wars
there was importance
first order, biological. don’t die. endurance
determined to do better, a compet-tive edge
over the predators, inventions that prevented our deaths
the breath of life – technological, philosophical
a chronicle of methodical progression
through the possible
hostile earth farming stopped the wandering tribes
who settled together for a better chance to provide
the birth of a lie, we were divided by illusion
civilization is the first proof of evolution

[chorus]
we’ve come too far to say that nothing’s been produced
we’ve come too far to say that nothing is the truth
you can have your own opinions
you can’t have your own facts
we’ve heard the lies for long enough
it’s time to take it back
we’ve come too far to act like we haven’t
our bodies bear the scars of ideas used as weapons
correctness is not guaranteed
this system started being written in 10,000 bc

[verse 2]
idle hands, pacified, sophistry
imagining gods to justify the ferocity
the thunder and lightning, earthquakes and fires
roars in dark forests and why lives expire
the widening gyre, the blood-dimmed tide
coincide with the rise of structure in our lives
we became strong because the tools made us stronger
we were still young and we put our faith in wonder
determined to do better – empirical edge
stone bronze renaissance – rohwedder’s sliced bread
gutenberg galaxies to factories to allen keys
borne from the mother of invention, ms. necessity
misdirected, we could never see the forest for the trees
tourists in our own towns, disconnected from memory
the lost art of remembering, dismembered and divided
holds the key to everything, don’t let them deny it
