lyrics

And as these infidels and Philistines attempt to infiltrate the scene
With sad and desperate echos of the palaces we built
Those monuments to stage and screen, now crumbling and evergreen
Where starlets preen and work their painted toes into the silt

And if you chance to dream then don't neglect to write it down
Did we water down the world for our salvation   
Within these ruined streets there's precious left for us to save
And every stage deserves its own damnation 

So burn it down!
Split her in twain
Let us fall into the hands of God
But never become tame

So let us drown
Wrap us in chains
Let us suffer through a thousand deaths
But never live in vain

And with the legends of our revelry, safely confined to history
We were titans and such beasts are doomed to founder
And despite our long recovery we chanced upon discovery:
The truths that we uncovered now resound in empty skies

And I wish for just one day I'd been, relaxed enough in my own skin
To recognize the depth of our subversion
Such virgins who would weep for me give soundtrack to this tragedy
A history consumed by our perversions

[CHORUS]

[Bridge]
When will you drown, drown, sweet memory
Release your grip on me, and to my own recognizance return
Let me set down, down such burdens as are left to me
Though I have yet to see, the peace for which I burn   

And if I could live that time again In search of other ears to bend 
I'm hopeful that our lives would be proved worthy 
But with no currency to spend
The passage of my years will end 
Toasting to our misremembered glory!

So burn it down...
Split her in twain
Let us fall into the hands of God
But never become tame

And let us drown
Wrap us in chains
Let us die a thousand deaths
But never live in vain
