Shatter and blacken the Earth

We are nothing, pour us into the sea

This place is the province of fools

Screaming once, then gone

We are born into the ground

Three fingers down

Kindness, cut out our babbling tongues

Running frantic, dripping blood

Let us go, you are unkind

Forgive us, and we'll die afraid

Far from the light of day

With our arms open wide:

Your cold, dead children

We cry for you

Under the flood, choking on ash

We cry for you

Reject the sun

Kill our tomorrow

Bury our heads

Are we not wise?

Breathe in the dirty, you failing child

And we'll die afraid

Writhing in this heaven you made

Under a cold, black sky

Let us go, you are unkind

Forgive us
