Pillars of Tragedy Lyrics


The pillars of the modern world

Raised with bodies

It is a tragedy

A snake bitting its own tail



You live without limits

You think you control everything

Your money and your fame precedes you

You think you're the king of the world



Cities with tall skyscrapers, luxury and enjoyment

More money than you could spend in ten lifetimes

Tons of bills

Your hands stained with blood

Your hands stained with blood



Your hypocrisy won't let you see any farther

Cause every bill you own has names and surnames

Buried, incinerated or drowned in the sea

You will carry the weight of their lives on your shoulders



Help the world get rid of itself

The metal pierces flesh

And the fire burns the bones

Too much weight to carry

Remember, you will get what you deserve

It all comes back, like a snake that bites its tail



The pillars of the modern world

Raised with bodies

It is a tragedy

A snake biting its own tail



When evil knocks at your door, balance the scales

Now you mourn the loss of your children

Because the bullets that pierced their little bodies, bear your signature
