A Hope For Home - Babylon: The Insatiable Thirst lyrics

rate me

Hollow.<br />

To be without the One that brought us here.<br />

Meaningless. <br />

Rip the roots from the ground to lay down foundations bound to crumble. <br />

Generations will come and go but the earth will remain.<br />

Swallow lies as you construct compensations for truth.<br />

<br />

Trading in our souls for white washed figures and towering symbols of our progress. We're all chasing the wind. <br />

But it's all in vain. The same fate will overtake us all in the end.<br />

The workforce marching, hearts heavy as stone.<br />

For the same fate overtakes us all.<br />

<br />

And I have walked every mile, and upturned every stone. I've indulged every urge And bowed at the altar of greed.<br />

Just to find that all of this is meaningless.<br />

<br />

What is there left for men to do with the little time we have?<br />

Denying ourselves nothing we desire. We are counting down the days until we've reached our final hour. Nothing will be gained under the sun.<br />

<br />

I have seen, all things forged must come undone.<br />

I have surveyed all my hands have done.<br />

And when we pass we leave everything behind.<br />

<br />

I have walked every mile, and upturned every stone. I've indulged every urge and bowed at the altar of greed.<br />

Just to find that all of this is meaningless.<br />

And as we stand at the edge of time, we will look back and we will see<br />

That our gods all will fade to dust if they are built from mortar and machines.<br />

Hollow.<br />

Meaningless<br />
