The nations are spent Left the soulless to stand Above all the graves of the children who fled This holy disease The global unease Be still and listen for the sense of urgency Cataclysmic, psychic egocentricity The situation of western society We'll dig our graves and reopen our wounds As it's the price we'll pay for disregarding the truth Hate How many times will we have to die this death? Weight Every pain, every joy, every thought and sigh Why shouldn't we all burn You cannot (cannot) rise anew If you have not first become Ashes it is cyclical Transformation Hate How many times will we have to die this death? Weight Every pain, every joy, every thought and sigh Fate We're all bound to these unconscious archetypes Wait We are nothing now but another godless design A great civilisation is not conquered from without Until it has destroyed itself from within No tree it is said Reaches the firmament Without its roots residing right within depths It's not the first occurrence Just like the universe we're under constant expansion and contraction Ad infinitum Why shouldn't we all burn You cannot (cannot) rise anew If you have not first become Ashes it is cyclical Hate How many times will we have to die this death? Weight Every pain, every joy, every thought and sigh Fate We're all bound to these unconscious archetypes Wait We are nothing now but another Godless design Brace the great collapse
