The Foundations of Decay

[00:44.91] See the man who stands upon the hill
[00:51.91] He dreams of all the battles won
[00:57.68] But fate had left its scars upon his face
[01:04.70] With all the damage they had done
[01:09.86] And so time, with age
[01:13.55] It turns the page
[01:16.35] Let the flesh
[01:18.45] Submit itself to gravity
[01:22.78] Let our bodies lay
[01:25.83] Mark our hearts with shame
[01:29.12] Let our blood in vain
[01:32.23] You find God in pain
[01:35.58] Now
[01:36.84] If your convictions were a passing phase
[01:41.70] May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays
[01:49.52] And as the vermin crawls we lay in the foundations of decay
[01:57.68]
[02:01.93] He was there, the day the towers fell
[02:08.88] And so he wandered down the road
[02:14.37] And we would all build towers of our own
[02:21.65] Only to watch the roots corrode
[02:26.69] But it's much too late
[02:30.33] You're in the race
[02:33.07] So we'll press
[02:35.36] And press 'til you can't take it anymore
[02:39.45] Let our bodies lay
[02:42.83] Mark our hearts with shame
[02:45.95] Let our blood in vain
[02:49.04] You find God in pain
[02:53.50] And if by his own hand his spirit flies
[02:58.86] Take his body as a relic to be canonized
[03:05.07] Now
[03:06.31] And so he gets to die a saint but she will always be a whore
[03:14.70]
[03:23.88] (You look stressed out)
[03:27.94]
[03:38.55] Against faith (cage all the animals)
[03:45.01] Against all life ('cause the message must be pure)
[03:51.43] Against change (you can wander through the ruins)
[03:57.51] We are plagued (but the poison is the cure)
[04:09.17] You must fix your heart
[04:14.91]
[04:18.89] And you must build an altar where it swells
[04:28.39] When the storm it gains
[04:31.70] And the sky it rains
[04:34.62] Let it flood
[04:36.43] Let it flood
[04:37.48] Let it wash away
[04:42.35] And as you stumble through your last crusade
[04:47.44] Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays?
[04:55.00] And as the swarm it calls we lay in the foundations
[05:00.39] Yes, it comforts me much more
[05:09.92]
[05:13.12] Yes, it comforts me much more
[05:23.28] To lay in the foundations of decay
[05:27.46] Get
[05:29.02] Up
[05:30.52] Coward
[05:31.73]
