Drifters

there's nothing here, of what has been
the dust has covered everything
this idol, once the pride of man
the guardian of this desert land

the remnants of a long gone past
these cities weren't built to last
they're slowly sinking in the sand
the guardian makes her final stand

the shadow of a closing storm
we gather up, and then we're gone
the memories we leave behind
are droplets in the sea of time

now hurry up, we've got to go
we can't afford to take it slow
so close your mouth, protect your eyes
how long before you realize

we're drifters pushing onwards
in this landscape of decay
just two lost souls moving forward
live to breathe another day

safe and sound, but where's our hope
the space around us only slopes
there's toxic, radioactive waste
the feelings that we can't replace

now hurry up, we've got to go
escape this dream we can't let grow
so close your eyes, open your mouth
and take a look, erase your doubts

we're drifters, pushing onwards
trying to find our paradise
just two lost souls moving forward
while we lie here paralyzed

now hurry up, we've got to go
we can't afford to take it slow
so close your mouth, protect your eyes
how long before you realize

we're drifters, pushing onwards
trying to find our paradise
just two lost souls moving forward
while we lie here paralyzed

we're drifters, pushing onwards
through these shades of washed out grey
just two lost souls moving forward
while we slowly drift away
