Lyrics
When I was a child,
The sun was warm and the nights peaceful.
I would gaze upon the stars and wonder
When the world would end.
I was afraid I would live
To see the sun burn out,
To see my world covered in ice,
And my beloved freeze to death.
I had nightmares
That a grim purple sky
Would light up the night,
And thunders would roar in the distance.
The land would dry,
And the crops would die.
And people of all religions
Would flee for shelter.
And we would shiver
As our borders collapsed.
The fear of the unknown
Would lead us into a time
Of hatred and despair.
For profit and safety,
We would segregate the poor from the rich.
We would build walls and make laws
To enslave free will.
And the cries of those who had lost
Their beloved would resonate
In an eternal darkness
Not to be heard nor seen,
But ignored like a vague noise.
When I woke up, my hands were dirty,
And my face was covered in blood.
The earth was burning, and the children
Had emptiness in their eyes.
The birds were dead, the people had fled,
And I broke down and I cried.
Black milk. Sour soil.
Acid moss. Black oil.
Melting ice. Dry winds.
Fearful minds. Anxious cries.
Longsome letters. Forgotten tales.
Secret songs. Forbidden prayers.
Dead lands. Worn-out earth.
Lost cities, buried in dirt.
We just stand in water up to our ankles,
Dancing, grieving.
Generations lost. Books burned.
Stories untold. People turned
Against their god. Against their will.
Towards their fate, forced to kill.
The dawn of day. Blood of fear.
Tragic fates. The end is near.
We feed on hate. We sleep on sorrow.
We stand at the gate. No tomorrow.
We just stand in water up to our ankles,
Dancing, grieving.
Longsome letters. Forgotten tales.
Secret songs. Forbidden prayers.
Dead lands. Worn-out earth.
Lost cities, buried in dirt.
Control your soul's desire for freedom.
Control your soul's desire for freedom.
Control your soul's desire for freedom.
Control your soul's desire for freedom.
All we'll ever need,
We'll have soon.
