Lyrics
They stack the bodies a thousand high
There are numerous dead bodies piled up high.
A cardinal monument to touch the sky
These bodies serve as a significant structure, resembling a monument that reaches the sky.
They crown the peaks
They place crowns or adornments on the highest points.
So far estranged
The high points are so distant or different that they seem unconnected or alienated.
But down in the dirt, nothing has changed
Despite this grandeur, at ground level, there is no improvement or change.
Nothing has changed
The lack of change at ground level is emphasized.
Nothing has changed
Reiteration of the lack of change, emphasizing a stagnant situation.
Nothing has changed
-Nothing has changed
-Nothing
Emphasis on 'nothing' to stress the absence of change.
Nothing
-The time has come, there's no escape
Indication that a crucial moment has arrived, and there's no way to avoid it.
The time has come, there's no escape
-There's no escape
There's no means of avoiding this imminent event.
Into the rabble, the panic seeps
Amid chaos and confusion, some are targeted while others mourn.
One target hits us, another weeps
People are affected differently; some suffer while others grieve.
They scale the walls, their mind's deranged
Individuals act irrationally, climbing walls due to disturbed mental states.
But down in the dirt, nothing has changed
However, at ground level, there's still no change or improvement.
Nothing has changed
Repeated emphasis on the lack of change at ground level.
Nothing has changed
-Nothing has changed
-Nothing has changed
-Nothing
Stressing once again the absence of any alteration or improvement.
Not a thing
-The time has come, there's no escape
Reiteration that a crucial moment is approaching, and there's no escape from it.
Time has come, there's no escape
-There's no escape
Underlines the impossibility of avoiding this impending event.
