Tears escape from my eyes
As I'm reminded once again
By the failure of our kind

We're closing up this shop for good
Since we plundered all that we could
What will it take for you to open up your squinting eyes


It's who we are
It's who we are


You can't own what you loan
A short time we've claimed this soil

Which really is no mans land
Time is short, we're running out
But not of ideas of how to squeeze out

The last drops of the borrowed world we call our own

It's who we are

Can we accept and just go on?
It's who we are
We're trading off the breaking dawn


Unknowing you blend into the dough
Handing your votes to those who are thought of to know

What is left to say

It's sickening me when they're raking in

They couldn't care less as long as they win
It's sickening me when those who have it all
Elbows others to get some more

It's sickening that they'd rather rape the earth
And claim that they're just quenching out thirst
It's sickening how we choose to neglect

How it all unfolds

A vestigial prophecy

Of tomorrows floating orb of debris
A faded memory
Drained out it monuments

The echoes of ashamed lament
Of what evolved from silent consent


As a phantom of the past
Holding the cast


As the shadow of a lucent moon
Burned out light years too soon
Benighted we fail to attune

This acheronian state, is it our fate
Way out of sight
Absorbed by night


An endless line
Running past the signs

Thus condoning the fall of all

Shadow of a lucent moon

Burned out light years too soon
Benighted we fail to attune
This acheronian state, is it our fate

Way out of sight
Absorbed by night


It's sickening me how we're wearing down
What is in our care to hand it on
It's sickening me how we fail to see

That all of this just ain't meant for you and me
