The Waterfront Cemetary

from De arte moriendi by Toad In Transit

/

lyrics

We are standing at the ocean
And waiting for the shore
Shall the ark now come
To take us all aboard
For a promise of a better life
A paradise in wait
The blood and tears we left here
What we´ve done was all too late

All the leaders broke their promises
The warning signs we´ve missed
Everything is vanished now
Ironic all this is
We have battled for the sun
And to reach the farthest star
All our backs broke long ago
A new start is to far

Ref:
We´re the banished and the broken
The heartless and diseased
We´re the dreaming sparks of our desires
Here to reap what´s left and meant to be
The art and wisdom´s grind
We´re the fading sparks of lost mankind

Now the time has come for us to leave
This graveyard isn´t ours
All that´s left is dead and gone
There´s nothing to be done
Cause we burned our beds in heresy
And preached this words divine
Futile thoughts and sacrifice
To an old decaying shrine

No leaders left for promises
No warning signs to miss
Everything died in our hands
Cheerless all this is
We have battled our own specie
Black and white we´ve killed
No life will grow on wasteland´s soil
Drenched in blood we once spilled
