When the light crept over the water You watched their eyes yearn for blood and the wealth of your fathers And we'll bide our time We've learned to live with our sleepless nights The lies we spread are deafening They buried the truth with your lives And we just stand by We'll swallow the earth and drain the seas Out of control and it's all for nothing Can't fill our needs when nothing remains When the sand claws at our wrists We'll find poison dripping from our fingertips When the sky caves in When we wake to oblivion Will we turn our eyes for one last time? Fall away like the breath in your chest Suffocate beneath our negligence Feel the blood cease in your veins The infection eats away See the parasites fall from the skies Under the guise of a new way of life Our so called values have led us astray We'll see their pain when it's too late Too late to change So we'll swallow the earth and drain the seas Out of control and it's all for nothing Can't fill our needs when nothing remains When the sand claws at our wrists We'll find poison dripping from our fingertips When the sky caves in When we wake to oblivion Will we turn our eyes for one last time? When the infection is done feeding off the mess we made It'll come for what's left We embraced the sins of our fathers Now the disease creeps in Waiting to consume what's left
