about

A song about the horrors of the early 20th century.

lyrics

Ten thousand years of patience coming to a head
The pinnacle of human progress, countless millions dead
“The best life has ever been,” is that what was said
Among freezing widows waiting in crowded lines for bread?

Is this really any better?

The path to untold fortune, buried underground
A remedy to undue suffering finally is found
Those with the keys to kingdoms take a look around
Hear the call of devastation and revel in the sound

Are we really any better?

It’s too late now to un-take those lives
Too late now to un-twist the knife
Too late now to un-spill the blood
Too late now to contain the flood

It isn’t over yet, or so they’ve said
And now our biggest threat is something in our heads

How many times?
How many countless lives
Must we sacrifice
Before you’re satisfied?
That’s somebody’s child!
(Why?)

And now eternity has opened wide
The only certainty is under mines
Here come the curtains, see? And now the lights
We’ll spend eternity wondering why

We’ll spend eternity wondering why
We’ll spend eternity wondering why
We’ll spend eternity wondering why
We’ll spend eternity wondering why
