lyrics

Gone are the days where the clear blue skies reflect the waters rising over white sand. Gone are the aging power lines bring light wealth and warmth to the white man. We squandered and we gorged and we still demanded more from the whore that we made of Mother Nature. Now we’re dirty and we’re poor and scrape the White Hall floor for the crumbs that they flung from the watch tower.
The banks are burnt the roads are wrapped in tangle weed; reflects the current state of our economy. We long for the fruit that used to grow on the trees while we scratch at the roots and our gums bleed. We used to take warm baths in eternal light, now we wade through the darkness of an endless night where the cats rule the streets and the rats rule the houses and we head in our crowds above the flood planes.
The waves from whence we crawled will come and drag us screaming form the sun. The earth that fed us fat will crack and draw the starving darkness back and we will blame the closest ones divided to the smallest sums and burn our precious possessions to stoke the fires around our own communities and sing the songs of paradise that we’d belong to if we’d righted all the wrongs that we knew all along instead of hanging on and just waiting for the break point.
Billions strong we were blown along but the forces broke with the turning tide. We wax and we wane and we don’t know why so we cut and dry the pieces of our dying tribe.
And we wait for the break point.
