Cauterize the Earth

from Vultures by Pull String Prophet

/

lyrics

black veins show through the skin
a new disease has taken control
from the heart to the fingertips
ripping the flesh from the bone

choking on the air we exhale
looking out of bloodshot eyes
feeding on the hands that hold us
sink our teeth into their sides

the flock will take control
the parasites will grow
we’ll turn these plains to dirt
we’ll cauterize the earth

last remains swept from the scene
fresh paint used to hide the wounds
erasing every memory
buried in a concrete tomb

deafened by the blaring sirens
blinded by the flashing lights
dissected in the name of progress
hold on to the last faint breath of life

nothing is ever enough
no, nothing is ever enough
