Mourning Songtext
von Adeste

Beneath the roof our hands have made
Between the walls that we have raised
We watch the water slowly rise
Reveals the ignorance we hide
Her words persist that we should wait
Ignore the tragedy at stake
My compulsion keeps me here
But this decision can never be shared


If we abandon creation
Is there still value in our wake?
The blade of sin prompts a vague incision
But it still ruptures a lethal vein
And so I place my tracks on solid ground
And from a distance I watch her drown
Now our house is submerged with the ocean′s tide
And my anchor dwells on the notion of her demise

I know it's always been a choice
But I petition for change
I am the watchman′s eye
A silent in the sky

Upon the city built by the stars
Are now inventions that I admire
They're gloaming innocence in intrigue
And a conspiracy of plague
And as my whistle screams recession
Down in beauty I dive down

It's gonna happen one way, dead or alive
They′re gonna burn when we set this city on fire
It′s gonna happen one way, dead or alive
They're gonna burn when we set this city on fire
