lyrics

There's a world outside
That we don't belong in
The colossus fallen
Their chariots litter the streets
Their followers famines are feast

There's a big star burning up
The dust of our decadence
The blank inhabitants
Their arrogance litters their pleas
Their deaths deemed to be obsolete

I thought the figures of doubt
Had all been figured out
I can't trust anything now
That's made of sight or sound

There's an engine turning up
The ghost of irrelevance
Bodies of regiments
Their agreements written in steam
Their results fall in to the sea

There's an empire running through
The heads of the lesser-thans
Regimes that treason wed
Their followers subjected to lead
The prophets of their suffering

I thought the figures of doubt
Had all been figured out
I can't trust anything now
That's made of sight or sound

It's all the comforts of a
War abroad
With the convenience of a
War at home
Mother of
Exiles has
Abandoned us
The Golden Door
Is closed

There's a world outside
That we don't belong in
The titans have fallen
In fields of their followed decrees
They fell at their followers feet

There's a world outside
That we don't belong in
The monolith's fallen

There's a world outside
That we don't belong in
There's nobody calling

There's a world outside
That we don't belong in
I'm short on longing
