lyrics

from sea to shining sea
what was once could no longer be
the season favours those with the thin paper sheets
the ice used to be thick but now its will is weak
the future's not bleak but a little preposterous
the saviour's prominence is gone
along with his bodily form deformed
the queen bee is swarmed with gluttony
the signs read pages from history
his story was fabricated to deny its implications
legacy commemorated by violent altercations
so few revelations got passed on
that the light never really made it past dawn
a fully drawn blade awaits
its thirst unsatiable
its target unmistakable
the hour glass broke its fast to encourage growth
flint rocks sparked a sacred hope
screaming "EARTHQUAKES ARE REPEATABLE!"
raindrops joined arms to sink the top soil
so the devil lived to see his best plans foiled
his genealogy demanded apologies from the highest
who carefully listened on tapped wires
inept messiahs came and went
their followers gave up lent
they had enough! of borrowing time and paying rent!
to prevent the past from recurring the weak were sacrificed
given to the odds
unseen paradise
they too were unclean parasites
decomposed life with all of their might
it wasn't right! but it was claimed necessary
no hindsight patchwork evolutionary
after all recent weather felt unseasonably fair
to replace all these concepts that don't need to be there
like pain the stimulus was followed by response
the non-sentients were now found writing joyous songs!
their troubles marched on!
outta sight off the earth
ate the dirt then became it
purity overcame the tainted
on and on the fables were recollected
directed our attention to when the mountains necks dripped
Noah's fam didn't make it but the arc did float
all of its inhabitants eloped
by then the season was favouring those with no thumbs
healed it from the trauma that once had it on the run
no guns saluted lost souls
silence did unfold
to recite the last story ever told
no guns saluted lost souls
silence did unfold
to recite the last story ever told
what once was could no longer be
from sea to shining sea
