lyrics

A cold stare and the hands of a scavenger
No muscles in the face could wet a dry tongue
Spirits go blue for the seasons of light, of love, of health

There were no myths, no petroglyphs
To prepare you for this horror story
Failed etiology will bring us more suffering
You can't bear the burden of a whole generation grown black, grown cold, invisible

We will have more children that will live even longer to perfect this ancient stigma
They will mourn us (on public walls) only on our death days
What's to become of fields grown soft? Will we sleep into Lethes?
Underground, uncovered, this is what we've dreaded

But if we were burned, not buried, things could end differently
The rest is the same: the grief, the mourning
But, at least there'd be
No bodies to unease
Your social conditioning
