Chaos Keeps Its Open Hand

Текст песни

[Verse 1] You call the knife a compass You call the silence proof As if a broken body Could make the heavens choose You press a shape on chaos And name the shape as law Then ask the dark to witness The order that you saw [Chorus] Murder is no answer No throne above the void You cannot make the world obey By taking what it once employed You strike at one brief heartbeat Then dress the wound as fate But chaos keeps its open hand And does not learn to wait [Verse 2] Was it hunger wearing reason? Was it fear dressed up as right? Did you think one life extinguished Would make the endless kneel tonight? You wanted cause and consequence To stand like stones in rows But every act that claims a meaning Leaves more questions in its wake [Chorus] Murder is no answer No throne above the void You cannot make the world obey By taking what it once employed You strike at one brief heartbeat Then dress the wound as fate But chaos keeps its open hand And does not learn to wait [Bridge] No god came down to name it No law made the stars align Only breath that stopped, a room gone still And your hand beside the line If nothing grants us purpose That does not make us free To turn another’s ending Into proof of sovereignty [Final Chorus] Murder is no answer No throne above the void You cannot make the world obey By taking what it once employed You strike at one brief heartbeat And call the silence fate But chaos keeps its open hand And will not take your shape [Outro] The room stays still The dark stays wide No master waits On the other side
