| In times of silent prosperity
|
| Doubt may grow the most
|
| As the intrepid soul challenges the constancy
|
| Tip the balance and it may shatter the equilibrium
|
| Towering above these industrial landscapes
|
| A lifetime of impressions all to be lost in indifference
|
| I beheld the flare stacks with their flaming heads
|
| For the world will not find its end in an instantaneous flash
|
| But with whimpering decay it will have to suffice
|
| And so do I
|
| The gallows frame edged against the grim sky
|
| In a continuous display of monotony
|
| Numb me, alienate me, leave me in spatial disarray
|
| This alienation causes disorientation
|
| So as you hear my voice for the last time
|
| You shall always remember that I once lived here
|
| Where the sun shines through the smoky alleys
|
| Upon only those who pierce the state of trust
|
| When its foundation’s very fabric is eroded rapidly
|
| The gallows frame edged against the grim sky
|
| In a continuous display of monotony
|
| Numb me, alienate me, leave me in spatial disarray
|
| Leave me at the wayside, down here in the gutter
|
| So leave me out here in the cold, face down in the dirt
|
| Leave me at the wayside, down here in the gutter
|
| So leave me out here in the cold, face down in the dirt, yeah
|
| Leave me at the wayside, down here in the gutter
|
| So leave me out here in the cold, face down in the dirt
|
| Leave me at the wayside, down here in the gutter
|
| So leave me out here in the cold, face down in the dirt |
