XX (City Grave) - Silent Planet

This injustice renders my thoughts ineffectual

Forgive me, Lover, and forget my sullen face

Privilege brings us to this place

Of human currencies

Buried our sisters in a glass display

Only to evaporate to a toxic skyline

Underneath we sell off the bodies

My body became a graveyard where they buried thirsty souls

Show me your righteous leader, I’ll show you the bullet holes

The preacher with the parched tongue and the «God» that he controls

«Shake off the sin, shake off the sin» and spit out your cacophony of lies

I’ll climb through your screen

And bleed out the image you left in me

But God, are you man?

Then how do you see me from where you sit up in heaven?

Looking down on my hell, my body chokes back

«I have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep

Where can I get living water?»

Enslaved in the «Land of the Free», my prison is our wedding bed

Where you left me for dead, you’ll leave us for dead

Apathy was our anchor to a digital sea

Where you drown in the comfort of our complicity

Can love save me?

Will Your wrath avenge us?
