lyrics

I’ve got my fingers in everything around
Know anyone who’s anyone; I’ve seen it all go down
Something turned bitter in this sweet old town
The people they’ve all withered, they’re all damnation bound
A strange corruption. No hope to be found
The preist has been hanged and the old church burned down
The river’s been roped off you’ll be whisked away and drowned
We all keep our eyes down and we dont make a sound

This town’s encompassed in thick anxious clouds
The worst sins took power we all followed in crowds
Go ahead think freely just don’t think so loud
The powers that be, they’re self conscious, too proud
If ever they feel threatened they’ll put you in the ground
Never to be heard from, never to be found
Harbored world since tainted, we’ve expired, look around
Arid, stark and barren; bygone handsome town

We’ll do it again as we did it before
Only now it’s not working please sir I need more
What was dilluted last time this time we made pure
Still we’re left waiting to fall to the floor
How do you do what has been done before
Dead or alive is our purpose no more?
What conquored our past selves this time we’ve endured
The pursuit of death is our infinite chore

How do you escape the place you escaped to
How can you worship a man who can face you
Nobody knows just what drove us to come here
This is our hope now but nobody’s from here
