To Build a Tomb |
| Watch as the banks break |
| Flooding the land into |
| The earth‘s heart |
| Fear creeps in |
| The stones are set with |
| Blood and lust |
| And the shadows bring what |
| Your despise |
| They move like snakes entwining |
| Ulcers within |
| War of words |
| Spoken in handshakes |
| Behind locked doors |
| Tongues that twist and bend |
| Dragging us all to our end |
| And the skies turn black |
| And the poison seeds don‘t grow |
| With riches they line |
| Their pockets |
| Yet unpick the seams again |
| Brick by brick |
| You‘re closing yourself in |
| To build upon blood and sand |
| Is to build a tomb |
| The candles burn |
| The snake has spoken |
| Watch as they rise through |
| The cracks |
| Eyes widen as the iris turns black |
| Face the beckoning |
| The winds of change are a myth |
| The meek shall inherit the earth |
| When their bodies are set adrift |
| Sever the roots |
| That run deep and feed |
| Crown of thorns for |
| Your majesty |
| Failed |
| Mortal |
| Thwarted |
| King |
| To build on blood and sand |
| Is to build a tomb |
