No Statik - Surrogate lyrics

THE PRIESTHOOD OF FLORENCE, ROBED RED ON COVER BEATEN. KNAPSACK RUDDY, DEEP BLUE bu*tON DOWN. A THEORY PASSED ON FROM A GOD, WHO NO LONGER CARES. 5 YEARS PAST DEATH, SOLIPSISTIC EMPTINESS. UNDER STATE, OVER FAMILY. A SOLDIER TURNED PRINCE ADOPTS A WAY. THE SHOW OF HANDS, A CONTORTED GESTURE. A SIGN HIS LOYAL TIES ARE TRADITION PROTECTING HIS THROWN, TAKING REWARDS HIS ABSENCE ROUNDS A JAGGED TRUTH TO THOSE THAT FOLLOW. A LIFE THAT CHOSE HIM. DESPERATELY IMPOSING HIS WILL UPON HIS SEED. 5 YEARS LATE. RUMPLED CLOTHING AND BLOOD FILLED SHOES. SUN SOAKED ROOFTOPS OF ITALY. 5 YEARS AFTER DEATH A SOLDIER FOLLOWS, ADOPTED HEIR WITHOUT A FATHER.
