Lyrics
So Little mystery, so few ideas
No more unknown land beyond our frontiers
All love and all war, nothing ever new
Someone failed better the first time than you
From arid deserts to frozen ground
Armies of hunger, colas all around
Laws and fences as far as we see
Kingdoms and prayers we no longer believe
Hear me now, scorched earth, already worn
What is still left of you
Under our feet the sky feels too low
The horizon's bleeding through
Scorched earth, can you hear my voice
Tell me what any of this means
Washed out dreams, flattened noise
No more questions, only silent screams
Laid down our monsters, our ancient fears,
Wolves and witches grew up with the years.
No God, no hell, without clearance or proof
Don't really fit in our equations of truth
Lives made of struggle and urgency
For a grain of dust, two seconds to be
Stone walls around us, tanks full of gas
And supervised cruises, under watchful glass
Hear me now, scorched earth, already worn
What is still left of you
Under our feet the sky feels too low
The horizon's bleeding through
Scorched earth, can you hear my voice
Tell me what any of this means
Washed out dreams, flattened noise
No more questions, only silent screams
We count our chances just to get out alive
Sitting on branches we're cutting aside
Waiting for a miracle to pull us through
Yeah, but miracles don't come true
Hear me now, scorched earth, already worn
What is still left of you
Under our feet the sky feels too low
The horizon's bleeding through
Scorched earth, can you hear my voice
Tell me what any of this means
Washed out dreams, flattened noise
No more questions, only silent screams
