lyrics

Stayin' home on my fireplace
hot sparks alight on my face
roam alone out of their rat race
feel the lands get burnt in flames
hear the noise of frightening guns
here I stand up stretch my bones
in the rumble of flyin' stones
fit a smile conceal my wounds.

People dance in their mad bliss
people say I should love this
people wonder if I ever miss
the febrile spell of her deceitful kiss
while my skin starts to decay
runnin' straight while goin' astray
children cry, women pray
world's a cloud of ashes and gray.

On this dancefloor
we prayed and swore
we fancied of a crimeless war.

Now our bodies start to decay
we walk through fire before dustin' away
children still cry, women still pray
life's a cloud of ashes and gray.

On our dancefloor
we prayed and swore
we settled for a grayscale folklore
What's all built for?
What's all drawn for?
What's all stained for?
