[Main riff] [Verse 1] Upon hallowed shoulders Seen through their dead eyes We create nothing, architecture rotted to time A ten ton monument To our arrogance supreme The die is cast, no matter what we believe [interlude] Parasites feasting this is the true weight A sublime unspeakable debt, waiting to break We walk on the bones, precariously [guitar lead] [Chorus, deep chants] Monolithic Chemistry Cataclysmic Soon to be [Verse 2] The bulwarks of men, Architects dead Opus caementicum With nothing in their stead Fashioned of blood, and twisted pains The foundation breaks The future is bleak [guitar solo] We have no regret, No souls to give Precious lifeblood, for the future they spilled Lachrymose echoes Of a dead past New design will not last [guitar lead] [Chorus] Lethargic Atrophy Society falls No new eyes to see Fallen to Complacency Empires dust No new eyes to see [chromatic descending guitar solo] No more given grace, the debt long past due Sisyphus dead, We tumble below.
