lyrics

Hazel eyes and bleeding knees
fingers deep in the sand
Reaches deeper, the young one’s hand
grazes death and a friend

Salty trails run down her chin
still the anger subsides
Numb and empty from all the lies
and all the wars with no end

Now come the echoes the warplanes sing
the carpets dance in the sky
The broken pictures of worlds gone by
a life she shut deep within

Born at the heart of calamity
with roots that hail from the war
An empty vessel that hits the shore
without a life to begin

In the darkest of aeons
a world out of hand
Collective decisions
just lines in the sand
Here come the waters
and the bodies we have ignored
The fortress did nothing
and now the sea is flooding the halls

You preach the fear
Inconsequential
The toxin fills their ears

Now they are barking like hounds
Water-mouthed creatures who feed upon the earth
Now they have gathered around
to listen to your words

The dream is medieval
Your walls are make-believe
A play for the people
loud enough to deceive
Defending the border
the soldiers of a fictional war
Come to trigger a slaughter
the blood inflames the horde

Born out of isolation
and the ghosts in your head
Distorting the bigger picture
and the heart of the dead

Face down in shallow water
where the kings have been drowned
The chaos is our creation
and we carry the crown

Lands of the sun gods
corrupted, battered and burned
We are the barons
the regents of the Earth
