Discipline - Dead City lyrics

Through the empty window of delight Bleak abandoned ruins fill your sight From your shallow grave you hear the scrape There matures the seed of your escape Through the earth or through the air On your dying breath you swear To take charge and move ahead Leave the city of the dead Buried in the prison of your home Thethered debtor bound nowhere to roam O, to feel the cool after the rain Keep your cool to keep your thinking sane Through the earth or through the air On your dying breath you swear To take charge and move ahead Leave the city of the dead Poison pumping daily through the streets Rusted autos, dusty tracks in fleets Some are searching vainly for an out You, the sulfur burns for the devout Through the earth or through the air On your dying breath you swear To take charge and move ahead Leave the city of the dead God is blind, the prophet speaks in lies Man is forth and only multiplies Can we be the cancer and the cure? Thoughtless waste our only act impure Through the earth or through the air On your dying breath you swear To take charge and move ahead Leave the city of the dead
