Fields of dying Ambition of the masses Fell down from the heavens Too close to the sun Disappointment of creation Built a tower of damnation Burning up into the sky The earth awaits those who can't fly The first to bow their heads are the first to die Don't look down We climb on ladders made of necks and broken spines Built our wings of razor blades and sacrifice The bane of perseverance will contaminate the sky Decaying altar Delusion of ascension Achieved for a moment By molten wax and feathers Swollen, beaten, contract written Sign your soul to me at once Pierce deserters' hearts Defeated men dig their own graves Forever chained, all are born slaves Don't look down We climb on ladders made of necks and broken spines Built our wings of razor blades and sacrifice The bane of perseverance will contaminate the sky In straight lines they're marching to reach the highest bliss Consumed by perseverance, all are claimed by the abyss The countless, the nameless, crushed by colossal beasts Consumed by perseverance, all are claimed by the abyss Don't look down We climb on ladders made of necks and broken spines Built our wings of razor blades and sacrifice The bane of perseverance will contaminate the sky
