When the Ground Swallows Us... Lyrics

Eternal night, the soul of man
Begging for your brightness
But none will bow to your whims
Followed by all, revered by none

Everything ours, not one yours
From the horizon to the omega

You are removed from our grave
We remove you, unwanted one
Over your grave we lay our swords
And we lay with beasts over your grave

Desecrating your desire
Desiring your desecration

Self-sustaining plague of nature
That overwhelms the mind
Profit feeding, endless greed
And weakness fed the fear

Desecrating your desire
Desiring your desecration

This cursed stranglehold encircles
The man who made the world wild
Fire, explosions in the sky
Powering the impulse of mankind

We've made the world into the underworld
We destroy as we desire

To keep up the individuals
To extend our madness

Nothing at all like the extravagant passing
So valuable to them
So invaluable to all

Distant I see it
My heart longs for it
The spot to end
This unending blight

But your strength surpassed ours
Your will destroyed ours
When the ground swallowed us
And when the sky was opened
