lyrics

This ground is an enemy
One step from a nuclear backfire
Held down by a thousand feet
Left alone by all
I see the voidless broken soldiers torn from travesty
I see the vultures paint the skies at night

And now we question the teachings of an age
Hands locked on the holes in our heads
Crippled fools marching exhaled chains
I cannot break before my existence

Before the sunset clears
Before I douse my fears
We walk into the descended

They speak in whispers
They speak into my life

It's just another step backwards
In the wrong direction
It's just another false bond I fear
And it's breathing one last time

Cleanse this world that we fight for die for
Torn down by the air we live for
It's in my dreams, it's just another step backwards

I read the ending of an opportunity
I saw the scribbles of another prophecy dead, dead
