Lyrics
I watched the world burn away
I witnessed the destruction of the world
Smoldering ashes lay
Remains are still smoldering on the ground
Before monuments to decay
In front of monuments that symbolize decay
Blood sweat and years
Time, effort, and the passage of years
We've fallen farther now
We have descended even further
Bones half buried in the ground
Bones are partially buried in the soil
Swords to shares of plows
Transition from weapons to tools for cultivation
The cycle repeats
A recurring pattern or cycle unfolds
After the disease
Following a devastating event or ailment
I remember everything
Recollection of every detail
Years lost to deceit
Time lost due to dishonesty or betrayal
And the miles between
Physical and metaphorical distance between individuals
Left behind and left for dead
Abandoned and disregarded, possibly in a foreign place
Unraptured in a foreign land
Not experiencing the rapture in an unfamiliar territory
Waiting for the world to end
Awaiting the impending end of the world
The tithe of the meek
A sacrifice or tax imposed on the humble
Acid rain and cellophane
Metaphors of environmental degradation and artificiality
Breathe in breathe in the name
Inhaling the name or essence deeply
The chemistry will end the pain
The belief that chemical reactions will alleviate suffering
Give into defeat
Surrendering to failure or giving in to defeat
After the disease
Following a destructive event or ailment
I remember everything
Recollection of every detail
Years lost to deceit
Time lost due to dishonesty or betrayal
And the miles between
Physical and metaphorical distance between individuals
Empty eyes and fragile husk
Eyes devoid of emotion and a fragile outer shell
We remember the unjust
Remembering injustices committed
Years lost to the both of us
Time lost affecting both individuals
And the miles between
Physical and metaphorical distance between individuals
