lyrics

It came in the night without alarm and turned our bones to dust
We all knew it was coming though it was never discussed
It’s been a blast, but we’re all out of time

They kill the gardens and dilute the sublime
It’s gonna take it man, and eye for an eye
It came before we could tell

There it goes, wasn’t quiet or slow
The desert will put you on your knees for a little bit
There it goes, curtain call for the show
The desert won’t leaving anyone wanting
When the sands came in they swallowed us whole
But displayed our sins
One little piece to make sure that the dagger was in
And even now that everything’s gone
You hear the echoes of the siren’s song
The earth’s abandoned and that’s how it belongs
An empty lot between the devil and god
It left the shell but it tore out the guts
Nothing we could do or say
It took our shrines and covered em in rust
There it goes, wasn’t quite or slow
The desert will put you on your knees for a little bit
There it goes, curtain call for the show
And the desert won’t leave anyone wanting
