about

This song describes the desolated landscape in which the character is roaming alone.

lyrics

Lying beneath the dead tree, singing a desperate melody, playing some deep chords
As thunder turns to words

The last leaf falls on the ground covered with ashes and dust
Broken bridges, burning corpses, a landscape laid to rust

This is our homeland, this is what we made of it
Are you proud of yourself ? We turned this eden to a wasteland
What did we sacrifice to create such an awful waste ?
What did we leave behind ? This is a view from the end

I face the desolation, and take a look back to my existence
Was it all preordained this way ?
What a beautiful price we pay

As the angel statues start praying on their knees
We know that all hope is gone
As the angel's eye begins to cry
We know the world is wounded, and rotten to the bone

As the wind remains silent, there's nowhere left to run
Just an empty desert to confess my sins

As the wax drips from the portrait, and the shadows swallow the sun
I stand on the edge of what once was and never ever will be
As the blood drips from the branches, and the roots are bathed in fire
I stand on the ashes of a world that screams for help.
