A white cross is painted on every door
The sign of the times
Hallucinations, fever and pain
Is spreading like wildfire
The squeeking from carriages, laden with the dead
Is drowning all birdsong
Short graves are dug by desperate mothers
One last lullaby
The rivers run black
Unchanged and eternal
The sun brings a new day as we die
Meaningless, or a plan for a greater cause
Given no choice but no resign
And feed the earth, leave this world
The laughter of children have faded away
Their angelic voices died
As fools tell no tales, and the minstrel has silenced
Last glimmer of joy has gone
A dive from the cliffs of mercy
Into the sea of affliction
Lungs fill up and minds corrode
The beautiful life, a story unwritten
A tear-filled goodbye
Search for solace no more
What's been given will be taken back
And order is restored
The rivers run black
Unchanged and eternal
The sun brings a new day as we die
Meaningless, or a plan for a greater cause
Given no choice but no resign
And feed the earth, leave this world
Run black...
Meaningless..
