lyrics

swimming up the river of your mind
far in meet the giver of your life
failing is the world's way of saying you're right
failing is the world's way to keep you in sight

and soon you'll know what is happening here
and soon you'll know why there's nothing to fear
and soon you'll know how to break down the wall
and soon you'll know that there's nothing at all

follow undead armies to your grave
shallow unfed legions, wave after wave
wielding severed claws and rotting teeth
onward gnashing jaws and stamping feet

you'll never know what is happening here
you'll never know why there's nothing to fear
you'll never know how to break down the wall
you'll never know that there's nothing at all

summon fallen squadrons to your side
pushing back defence lines, marching wide
lay this world to waste and burn the trees
we won't stop until this land is deceased

acres upon acres of burnt, scattered, ruinous land
the still sea weeps silently under a deep grey sky
a single bird hovers overhead
searching for food for its starving family
the sun sets blood red
closes its sleepy eyes on the world
never to rise again

o! weep sad city
ye that are fallen into the dust
and the dirt out of which we were raised
o! weep sad city
the people that once saw a great light
now walk in darkness
o! weep sad city
your fair mother has fallen
writhing, spitting
on the ground
where sleep poison, sins & money
o! weep sad city
for your brothers
your sisters
your children
your shallow mind denies all probability
weep now
or forever hold your peace

and yet...

venomous snakes spitting
wild cats howling
there is no-one left to weep
