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 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
