So they say it's getting better now
And we're climbing ever higher up the scale
Soon controlling all conceivable solutions
No one notices that all our efforts fail

Progress, we are marching backward
Progress, as the captains of our fate
Progress, as we spiral downward
Progress, we defile and we desecrate

Calculating every possible obstruction
Have to sacrifice a few along the way
Devolution from genetic degradation
Seperation from Creator brought decay

Progress, we are marching backward
Progress, as the captains of our fate
Progress, as we spiral downward
Progress, we destroy and we annihilate

Ideologies, moralities are pass
It's said the concept of religion's obsolete
Something's missing in our picture of the future
It seems our latest observations' incomplete

Progress, we are marching backward
Progress, as the captains of our fate
Progress, as we spiral downward
Progress, we entangle and we complicate
