lyrics

SOIL OF THE DEAD

We’ve severed all ties to the world we once knew
It took just a second to change, to change it eternally
Our future - torn apart by something we can’t touch or see

Sons of the Soil – The Soil of the Dead
Sons of this Soil – The Soil of the Dead
We bury the future in coffins of lead

Landscapes without humans, a sepulchre of concrete
Now all that is left are shadows of what was here before
Someone walked these roads, someone dwelled behind these doors

Sons of the Soil – The Soil of the Dead
Sons of this Soil – The Soil of the… Dead!

For ten days it burned
Ten days that will last forever

There is nowhere for us to go
As the world cries “pariah”
Sentenced for eternity
Wayward sons of Mother Gaia

Our gods do not laugh
Our gods are martyrs

Only the dead may return

And now we know that the world does not end with humanity

Thirty years ago but will we ever understand
What a force we unleashed and what truths we shattered
Now it is as if nothing ever was or ever really mattered

Sons of the Soil – The Soil of the Dead
Sons of this Soil – The Soil of the Dead
We bury the future in coffins of lead
