Stone upon stone for mile after mile Monuments raised to the treacherous soil Just meaningless lines drawn in hopeless times Like a tongue licking dust from the bottom of a bowl.
Cold sun bleeds through in the midst of the flood Revealing the hound's ears, swollen with blood We toil in vain for our long-sleeping god 'Til we are rendered ourselves into gravel and mud.
Day follows day while our skins grow slack The rains never cease and the crops turn black No chance to pretend, in this world without end, that the legions of famine will ever fall back.
