Terra Infirma

Why won't you open your eyes?
The water's rising but the wells are running dry
The clock is ticking all the seconds rushing by
Counting down towards extinction

All the warnings we were given, have only fallen on deaf ears
The signs were there, but we didn't want to listen
Always so certain, that we would all be saved

Terra infirma
Hollow is the ground beneath our feet

We built our houses on shifting sands
Laying our foundations in the ashes of the promised land
We lined our pockets, and laid our plans
We couldn't stop it, not even if we wanted
It's far too late, there's too much blood upon our hands

How could we be so foolish, such arrogance and hubris
To think that we would never face the consequences
That we would never have to pay the price

And now it's time to pay the piper
It's time for us to reap the storm
It's time for us to answer
For all the things we've done

There's nowhere left for us to run to, there's nowhere left for us to hide
There's no-one we can turn to, no-one to save us from the rising tide

The writing's on the wall now, and the walls are closing in
The shattered sky is falling, the world is ending once again

All the warnings we were given, have only fallen on deaf ears
The signs were there, but we didn't want to listen
Always so certain, that we would all be saved

Terra infirma
Hollow is the ground beneath our feet
