At the edge of the earth
A pale horse rides
Closing in on the world with promise of an end

The cancer that we bring
reflects the cancer from within
driving this rusted nail deeper and deeper
Let the earth bleed and give way to the fog of man
Set in motion, the gears
To the cold steel engines
Eyes set to the screen,
Don't you dare loosen your gaze
we live as servants to our own designs

These buildings will be our tombs
These buried streets, our catacombs
Perpetuate a way of life we were not meant to live

No matter how far I fall (far I fall)
We'll still stand on level ground (on level ground we stand)
The drums of war are beckoning (beckoning)
Deliver us, our providence (our providence)

I'm beginning to think
this existence that we convey
is all so empty

This will be our legacy
In a single stroke of disaster
All points of pride have ceased
We are nothing, if less than human
Dressed in a vicissitude
Introduced by our own hands
We're falling
and fooling ourselves it's flight
To the depths with us I say
to the depths with us I say

These buildings will be our tombs
These buried streets, our catacombs
Perpetuate a way of life we were not meant to live

No matter how far I fall (far I fall)
We'll still stand on level ground (on level ground we stand)
The drums of war are beckoning (beckoning)
Deliver us, our providence (our providence)

The air we breathe is what we'll choke on in the end
Scorch the skies
Flood the grounds
(We'll say)
rhyme and reason
best left unfound
(we've done our best)
Close your eyes
Don't hold your breath
(The truth contradicts)
We run in circles
Beating purpose out of death

We gave up the search for our clarity
Accept that we've lost our way
Bring us salvation

No matter how far I fall
We'll still stand on level ground
No matter how far I fall (far I fall)
We'll still stand on level ground (on level ground we stand)
The drums of war are beckoning (beckoning)
Deliver us, our providence (our providence)
