This is the age of lies 
The sins of the Father prophesised 
They have built a foundation 
On which they forged temporary [bad word] 
Houses of straw 
Towers of sand 
Monolithic in [bad word] 
But built by frail hands 
Pillars and idols of man 
Can’t withstand the storms that followed 
The waves of betrayal crash against these walls 
And with fear in our hearts we watch them fall 

Now the architects are safe in their tombs 
Sheltered by the carcass of the mother they raped 
Protected in death by the Earth 

Now all that’s left is this sea of [bad word] with a film of gold painted over it 
And the child now awake understands his father’s treachery 
The Ocean reclaims this world 

As he clings to the mast of this sinking ship 
Timbers sinking down to the [bad word] depths 
The Ocean reclaims this world 

The waves of betrayal crash against these walls 
And with fear in our hearts we watch them fall 
Now the architects are safe in their tombs 
Sheltered by the carcass of the mother they raped 
Protected in death by the Earth 

Under a blackened sky 
The child of man is left to die 
Bloated and swollen, he sinks down and joins the land 
His fate sealed by his father’s own hand 

Father, why? 
How could you murder your child? 
This wasteland is all that’s left 
And you’ve condemned your son to this [bad word]
