lyrics

Black Stalks on your head
Night falls upon the dead
These are the stories we've read
These are the ghosts that haunt me

When I wake up cold and wet
In the shivering arms
Of the river flows
Underneath a black spot grows
It withers and cries
"it wasn't me, it wasn't my fault"
I could wave goodbye
Although I know I'll never leave
Til we all fall down

The empire sold us a lie
And the common man
Doesn't have a clue to save his life
If the science breaks
We cannot escape
We cannot erase
The dream I had never fully comes
One eye open

When I wake up cold and wet
In the shivering arms
Of the river flows
Underneath a black spot grows
It withers and cries
"it wasn't me, it wasn't my fault"
I could wave goodbye
Although I know I'll never leave
Til we all fall down
