lyrics

When the tower fell, the wires snapped, weren't fastened well
From the streets rang out no wild cry, no screams of pain
How can they say that we don't believe in anything?
When the truth is loud and clear
But the weight of that long spire up above
Gave em' a new reason and took away their fear

Out of spite someone offered to tear it down, set it alight
And the drones, they laughed and had a smile, they paid the half
Noone winked an eye as a lone star lit up the night
Flightless insects heard the sound
Below lay in the city, under rock and stone
A bountiful feast of cigarettes and coffee grounds

Time rattles the chains
That rusted long ago
All we've done and all that stands
Can't stand alone

Metal hit the grass, no water route, no creatures passed
Just an opening within the woods, didn't hurt a thing
Holes were forming up and down into the wood, each crawl with iron centipedes
When it rolled into a stream yet undiscovered they heard its signal cry out "
what business have you here?"

Time rattles the chains
That rusted long ago
All we've done and all that stands
Can't stand alone
