Lyrics
In the dark times
Will there be singing?
There will be singing
About the dark times
In our lifetimes
What are we seeing?
It’s just beginning
In our lifetimes
On the fault lines, of caste and class
The sidewalk cracks to free the dead at last
Does dispossession have a critical mass?
(Why even try to fix the broken glass?)
Borders, bunkers, burrowed in securities
They can bury themselves, (sounds good to me)
The myth of the west
Face down in our debts
It’s always bad news first
It’s only up from here if you expect the worst…
Just before it bursts!
Decay is your friend—(how bad can it get?)
Even empire’s end
Daily life is the scene of the crime…
Holy tantrum
Hostage, ransom
Those that defend the land
Are shot where they stand
On the front lines
Past is never past
The forest flares, war’s come home at last
Does decimation have a critical mass?
To choke the world in ash?
You’ll see, down in the debris
Life is temporary
Give them their gilded cells
Cause they’ve earned their hell
Chasing our extinction and we wonder why?
Curtains close
The storm before the calm
The center falls apart
If they can’t have it
Then no one can
One last gasp
