This is the age of lies
The sins of the Father prophesised
They have built a foundation
On which they forged temporary structures
Houses of straw
Towers of sand
Monolithic in structure
But built by frail hands
Pillars and idols of man
Can’t withstand the storms that followed
The waves of betrayal crash against these walls
And with fear in our hearts we watch them fall
Now the architects are safe in their tombs
Sheltered by the carcass of the mother they raped
Protected in death by the Earth
Now all that’s left is this sea of shit with a film of gold painted over it
And the child now awake understands his father’s treachery
The Ocean reclaims this world
As he clings to the mast of this sinking ship
Timbers sinking down to the crushing depths
The Ocean reclaims this world
The waves of betrayal crash against these walls
And with fear in our hearts we watch them fall
Now the architects are safe in their tombs
Sheltered by the carcass of the mother they raped
Protected in death by the Earth
Under a blackened sky
The child of man is left to die
Bloated and swollen, he sinks down and joins the land
His fate sealed by his father’s own hand
Father, why?
How could you murder your child?
This wasteland is all that’s left
And you’ve condemned your son to this hell
