Grave New World Lyrics

Album: Phoenix

rivers red on porcellain

sending shivers down my spine

lonely island born of sin

ragged edges on my grin

flower girl withering fast

rotten beauty never lasts

clock is ticking no more time

hollow lifeforce now is mine

here I stand in fire and flames

embers fading only ashes remain

On your quest for a better world

you pave the road with sorrow

welcome to this grave new world

step aside and buy the shirt

blood and gore utopia

this time you have gone too far

vanity your only friend

superficial shallow blend

idols false behind their masks

comprised of shards of broken glass

hollow puppets on their strings

from birth to grave the choir sings

follow follow trend and style

conformity becomes the lie
