Amidst these valleys of cold, rusted steel
A horrible contrast becomes all too real
Walls divide, as the structures prevail... disaster evolves
Ignore the warning rise from the concrete
A barren resolve with all life obsolete
Walls divide, as the structures prevail... disaster evolves
Apathy born and bred
In the expanding world
Evermore careless you
Become what you hate
Nothing can prosper here
In the united world
Chasing down silver lies
and shit painted gold
close your eyes and try
but sleep won't grace these stressful times
and dreams will never reach our minds
Bite your tongue and lie
wishing for better days to come
but life is pain you die alone
Wastelands in the shade of towering monoliths
Cultivate these graves obsessive, majestic and vain
Aeons are haunted by lessons unlearned
Voices of reason forever unheard
Walls revive, let mankind rot away and feed the terrain
Painstaking wisdom to know wrong from right
Relive continue forget and survive
Walls revive, let all flesh decompose as new towers grow
Organic death machines
Ignorance in the genes
Everyone builds a shrine
To tear down their knees
Blood dripping to the ground
Pooling at dirty feet
Temples feel stronger now
But worship is for the weak
close your eyes and try
but sleep won't grace these stressful times
and dreams will never reach our minds
Bite your tongue and lie
wishing for better days to come
but life is pain you die alone
Wastelands in the shade of towering monoliths
Cultivate these graves obsessive, majestic and vain
Who can really know if truth was told
In writing sworn to faded stone
fall into the grind within the grind
sheltered from the truth
you mean nothing to this world
worthless human lives servants to structure
part of a futile grand design
born of cancer live to suffer
nourish the cleansing soil below
Chaos is only the balance of time
progress and build then erase and rewind
Walls crumble down…
crumble down
close your eyes and try
but sleep won't grace these stressful times
and dreams will never reach our minds
Bite your tongue and lie
wishing for better days to come
but life is pain you die alone
Wastelands in the shade of towering monoliths
Cultivate these graves obsessive, majestic and vain
Who can really know if truth was told
In writing sworn to faded stone
