The Foundations of Decay
[00:45.12] See the man who stands upon the hill
[00:51.87] He dreams of all the battles won
[00:57.62] But fate had left its scars upon his face
[01:04.37] With all the damage they had done
[01:09.37] And so time, with age
[01:12.87] He turns the page
[01:16.37] Let the flesh
[01:18.12] Submit itself to gravity
[01:22.62] Let our bodies lay
[01:25.62] While our hearts will stay
[01:28.62] Let our blood in vein
[01:31.87] Feel forgotten pain, now
[01:36.09] If your convictions were a passing phase
[01:41.63] May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays
[01:48.12] And as the vermin crawls
[01:52.12] We lay in the foundations of decay
[02:02.62] He was there, the day the towers fell
[02:08.09] And so he wandered down the road
[02:13.60] And we would all build towers of our own
[02:20.09] Only to watch the rooms corrode
[02:26.87] But it's much too late
[02:29.59] You're in the race
[02:32.60] So we'll press
[02:34.84] And press 'til you can't take it anymore
[02:39.34] Let our bodies lay
[02:42.34] While our hearts will stay
[02:45.37] Let our blood in vein
[02:48.62] Feel forgotten pain
[02:51.89] And if by his own hand his spirit flies
[02:58.37] Take his body as a relic to be canonized, now
[03:05.58] And so he gets to die a saint
[03:08.82] But she will always be the whore
[03:23.83] (Let's flip out)
[03:39.37] Against faith (Antihero)
[03:44.87] Against all life (As if it must be pure)
[03:51.12] Against change (We wander through the ruins)
[03:57.36] We are free (The guiltiness is yours)
[04:08.86] You must fix your heart
[04:18.80] And you must build an altar where it rests
[04:28.37] When the storm decays and the sky it rains
[04:35.03] Let it flood, let it flood, let it wash away
[04:41.75] And as we stumble through your last crusade
[04:47.27] When you welcome your extinction in the morning rays
[04:54.03] And as the swarming calls, we lay in the foundations
[05:00.24] Yes, it comforts me much more
[05:12.73] Yes, it comforts me much more
[05:22.94] To lay in the foundations of decay
[05:28.12] Get up, coward!
