Paradigm Shift (Fausts’ lament)

Take away these chains so I can be free

We ignored the prophecy

I misread the terms to my soul

We were just a sacrifice

It drew us in and swallowed us whole

Now pistons grind

In the machine

The teeth of cogs

They click and whir

The springs uncoil

To claim their spoils

Like those before us

We never learn

So take away these chains so I can be free

Now I have all I desired

Now I see that nothing was real

Soon to be consumed by the fire

Soon to pay my part of the deal

Now rivets buckle

And levers scream

I made a bargain

I got my dream

But with it too

Came something new

A paradigm

A new world view

So take away these chains so I can be free…
