Undergravel: Forgotten (Space Germany)

[Intro] [Subterranean Drone] [Whispered Baritone] Nobody remembers the first city Nobody remembers the last Everything down there Used to be somewhere else [Verse 1] [Grinding Low Guitar] Towers broke loose from the centuries Bridges folded into streets Whole dead districts grinding downward Under miles of concrete teeth The chasm turns with buried engines Slow as something learning pain Glass and steel become a river Orange underneath the rain [Pre-Chorus] [Mechanical Pulse Rising] Down goes history Down goes home Down where every name becomes stone Ask about the surface Watch them laugh Nobody knows what word you asked [Chorus] [Crushing Full Band] Forgotten cities Turning below Everything falls where the fallen go Forgotten cities Red in the core Hope means nothing down here anymore No way up No way known Only the ones who fall call this home [Post-Chorus] [Distorted Low Doubles] Fall Fall Everything learns how to fall [Verse 2] [Crooked Half Time Groove] Gang paint running over warning signs Knives get names and men get none Every hallway has a kingdom Every kingdom has a gun Laugh too long and someone follows Stare too hard and someone bites Sanity is just a rumor Passed between the broken lights Food moves fast when hunger finds it Two good legs and nowhere wide Nobody asks what meat was called Before it learned it had to hide [Pre-Chorus] [Layered Baritone Harmonies] Down goes mercy Down goes law Down where hunger writes what people are Ask about tomorrow Hear that sound That is lava moving underground [Chorus] [Massive Industrial Impact] Forgotten cities Turning below Everything falls where the fallen go Forgotten cities Red in the core Hope means nothing down here anymore No way up No way known Only the ones who fall call this home [Bridge] [Psychedelic Feedback Spiral] [Unhinged Spoken Baritone] Maybe there was sunlight Maybe that is a lie Maybe somebody invented blue Because black got tired of the sky Maybe there was weather Maybe there were fields Maybe people ate from tables Instead of whatever fear could yield Maybe hope was useful Somewhere with a door Down here hope is just another word Nobody hunts anymore [Breakdown] [Voice Over Pulsing Drone] The city keeps falling The rubble keeps turning The bottom keeps burning A thousand dead streets Melt into one And somewhere above us Someone still calls this Down [Build] [Floor Toms And Rising Noise] Down Down Down How deep is forgotten Down Down Down Deep enough to breathe [Final Chorus] [Explosive Full Band] Forgotten cities Turning below Everything falls where the fallen go Forgotten cities Pour in the core Hope means nothing down here anymore No surface No sky No reason to ask why Forgotten cities Grinding our bones Only the ones who fall call this home Only the fallen Only the lost Only the hungry Counting the cost Forgotten cities Red in the core Hope means nothing Nothing Nothing anymore [Outro] [Cracked Baritone Over Drone] Nobody remembers the first city Nobody remembers the last Keep falling You will find us
