Hands reaching for the clouds but we could never grasp
Ten thousand empty voices like bodies full of nothing
An insatiable hunger
Every step a bit closer
To an endless precipice
Eyes that see no further
Than what their frail fingers reach
Longing for salvation
In the belly of the beast
We cannot stay afloat burdened by the weight of our chains

I could see a crimson light waning in a distance
Running out of breath always suffocating
Nails growing sharper with the days like knives that gather rust
I am tired of running tired of counting the hours
Always shouting never heard
You can only trap a dead bird

Set ablaze the idols and preachers
Another world is not possible
It grows beneath our fingertips every waking moment
Set ablaze humanity and civilization
Domesticated life
Shallow existence
A crumbling empire
Back to dust back to earth

I still remember the voice of your aching bones
Longing for what could be
With arms wide open
Still remember the blood-soaked salt beneath your balcony
A last farewell
I will never forgive them for what they've done

The air is thick and saturated with remorse
Wallow in despair
Lungs filled with ash
As our frail bones stand in contempt on the graves we've dug
Like an immense void always growing
Taking up space until there's nothing left
Feed the emptiness feed it blood
Hecatomb of a thousand stars
And all it gave us was
A life of toil and misery
And all it gave us was
The semblance of a memory
Silence sets in a whisper becomes wailing
If one were to closely listen
Our hands against the wound
Of the throat that we have slit
Our hands against the throat

Do you remember what used to be before we could ever see it
Can you see what lies beneath this ever-growing cloak of concrete?
Can you see the stars through this thick veil of light?
They've built this prison
And we will take it down

Lifeless / boundless
Eradicated light
Disemboweled animal
Stole the breath from the air so we would choke on tar and gas
Our bones embedded in the crust of the earth
Shattered in fragments by the passage of time
Our voices will remain when life grows out of our caved-in chests
