The rivers of Babylon
They babel on
Though the gods fall silent
The party still rages on
The nights are long
And the days few and far between
And what ghosts are sleeping near?
Between the wires silently shrieking
They are friends to us, we hear
The myriad temptations that they whisper in our dreams
As every sweet seduction works its way between the seams
We came here when we were young
And the sun found your laughter shining and bright
But we were thirsty, we stole the light
And my heart was heavy before you added your weight
Now we face each stagnant dawn
Between the hours desperately searching
And the spectre marches on
Infecting every vision, clinging to our silvered skin
We find ourselves abandoned to the gravity of sin
We cross the threshold, steal a glance
Now bound by crime and circumstance
The moment shrieks collapsing and emerges yet again
The agggonny of silence settles over us
The voices cease to whisper, and our chains have gone to rust
What have we done
Doubled up in silence we are hiding from the sun
The splinters slide into our lungs
Misfortune piled high beneath each star within the sky
And time will take it's toll
As memories unfold
The phantoms' fevered cries begin to echo in the skies
And rattle every gap within our souls
As the whispers find their silence in the stagnant pools below
(outro)
And now we walk alone
Exiled and abandoned we are driven from our homes
Left to our devices and betrayed by all our vices
Cursed to rest forever when the waters cease to flow
