To What End Thrice

To what end?

To what end do we
Proceed so boldly
If all we are is
Chemical reactions?
And what world have you
So deftly sold me
If you reduce me
If I have no soul to touch?

No heart to love, no evil to rise up above
No angels and no ghosts, no real victories to toast
If you believe that this is true, then I must ask:
To what end do you proceed?

No fire in our eyes
No zeal in our hearts
No magic in our songs
Are we just empty vessels?

No fire in our eyes
No zeal in our hearts
No magic in our songs
No fire in our eyes
No zeal in our hearts
No magic in our songs
