Prehistoric Lies

Lyrics

I lit my name on a wall of stone Watched it dance in the firelight’s moan Told myself I’d found the spark divine But I was just afraid of time

You’ve said it so long, you believe that it’s true An endless obsession - the myth becomes you A factual fiction, the truth now denies Your stories are fables… Prehistoric Lies

Now I preach through a wire and glass Selling faith by the megabyte mass Every word I speak got a barcode price Every god I build demands a sacrifice

You’ve said it so long, you believe that it’s true An endless obsession - the myth becomes you A factual fiction, the truth now denies Your stories are fables… Prehistoric Lies

Now I’m sifting through bones of belief Dust and doubt all tangled beneath Found my heart still beating in disguise Wrapped in skin of prehistoric lies

You’ve said it so long, you believe that it’s true An endless obsession - the myth becomes you A factual fiction, the truth now denies Your stories are fables… Prehistoric Lies

I dig through the noise for a human tone But every echo sounds like my own Maybe the truth just fossilized Maybe I’m the lie I idolize

You’ve said it so long, you believe that it’s true An endless obsession - the myth becomes you A factual fiction, the truth now denies We’re born, we burn, we breathe… Prehistoric Lies
