The City In The Sand

lyrics

The City In The Sand

A myth in our midst
Mitigating, midget, of great stature
Sailing the seas of spin, suggestion, suppression and statues
Demiurge embodied
In limestone, celluloid, oppression and lies

An empty space
Concrete pouring
Constructing a façade of civilization
Even a parody of decadence
Stuffing the head of state
The apple in the mouth of madness
Beneath oceans of sand
The illusion becomes the only reality
Asbestos idol

Words smooth, carcinogenic
Dissolving gray matter
Does it really matter when you’re in the (demilitarized) zone?
A holiday for the mind
Keep it happy and it won’t complain
Promise mountains of plated gold
Worship the asbestos idol
Before it sinks beneath the sand
