lyrics

we will sink cities like ships on violent seas as the earth reclaims vacancies through gentle waves of seasonal decay and the trees that stood centuries before any street was paved or any war was waged with machines that built the arsenal on presses that now stand idle vacant waiting slowly sinking into the earth listen hear the press hum its calling to you calling for mens hands to run it obeys your commands to cycle and fall to the earth shakes its speaking to you through syncopated cycles of metal on metal as the gears hum as the years run into eachother you will find yourself infront of this machine again trying not to throw yourself in i've been going through motions of loading parts into machines i've lived in illusions of wealth i'm just going through the motions institutionalize our own demize tear up the streets and replace yellow markings for redlines this doomsday siren has been screaming for sixty years this tempest is relentless
