Beyond Oblivion Lyrics
These graves are cold and empty
He knew it's where we'd soon reside
The waves recede so gently
They only left the sands of time
[Pre-Chorus]
(What have we done?)
To the future, we run
(What have we done?)
Headlong without question
(What have we done?)
Creations devised
(What have we done?)
To put an end to all life
[Chorus]
A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits beyond oblivion
A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits beyond oblivion
[Verse 2]
These shadows sleep so soundly
Appalled, he now averts his eyes
Disgraced, he felt so empty
Entrusting us with our demise
(What have we done?)
To the future, we run
(What have we done?)
Headlong without question
(What have we done?)
Creations devised
(What have we done?)
To put an end to all life
[Chorus]
A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits beyond oblivion
A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits beyond oblivion
[Post-Chorus]
Beyond oblivion
Beyond oblivion
Beyond oblivion
Beyond oblivion
Go!
Beyond oblivion
Beyond oblivion
Beyond oblivion
[Chorus]
A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits beyond oblivion
A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits beyond oblivion
A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits beyond oblivion
A dead road
A dark sun
Now waits beyond oblivion
About
Bass player Paolo Gregoletto comments to Team Rock: “Corey [Beaulieu, guitarist] was scrolling through his TV guide and he saw the phrase ‘Beyond Oblivion’ on a show, and wrote it down. I felt like I could make that work for a chorus, so I had to think of a theme of what that would be. I was listening to a bunch of podcasts about artificial intelligence, but they were comparing the idea of the coming technology to the atomic bomb – of how we created this incredibly immense, dangerous world-destructing thing in a moment when no one was really thinking of the implications. The song was viewing it from the perspective of someone that creates this sort of technology and comes to view it for what it is.”
