Lyrics

Blacked eyes and blood red skies
It's colour that you lack
Your malignant life, a malignant knife
That feasts upon our backs

From the shoulder blades to rib cages
We've seen the other side

Let the heavens rain down from the sky
Let the nightmares come that stalk us in the night
The cancer spread throughout our bodies
Consuming everything in sight
Before we even knew it was alive

Yet we move on tonight, with open eyes
On broken legs and spines
We've been left for dead so many times
With no luxury to die

This is a loss of innocence
In memory of faceless friends
We are the highest monuments
Above the tallest cities
