House Of Glass

(album: ERRA - 2010)

My mind's a leech, and I feel so weak
My sleep was deep, and I did not dream
There is a presence here, breathing life into our fears
Russian roulette, the cylinder is full
No gods to interfere

Requiem
This will destroy you before you mourn the passing dream
Requiem
This night won't conclude
House of glass crashes down around you

Spread of self violence
Complicit in silence
Desire's subsidence
Survive by defiance against defeat
Burn it down
Sweep of a nation misguided by a righteous hand
Distorted divine
Collective suicide

Turbines aflame, like monolithic candles incandescent
In a midnight aura, convulsing bodies in a ritual
My sleep was deep, and I did not dream
Burn it down. Burn it down.
Pitch black mass
House of glass

Requiem
This will destroy you before you mourn the passing dream
Requiem
This night won't conclude
House of glass crashes down around you

Battered
Battered and scarred, post-fundamentalist humiliation
Scattered
Scattered and starved, post-indoctrination
Pitch black mass
House of glass

Burn, burn, burn it
Burn, burn, burn it down
Burn, burn, burn it down
This will destroy you

Burn it down
Burn it to the fucking ground
(My sleep was deep, and I did not dream)
