Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A black wind of nightmares
Howling through barren streets
Frozen in time
The city woke up—paralyzed
[Verse 2]
Where is the splendor?
All our ambitions decay
Among the ruins
Covered forever in dust
[Verse 3]
War
[Verse 4]
The sound of beating winds
Chaotic dreams asleep
As phantoms we answer
At war with reality
[Verse 5]
Where is the hunger?
With eyes of sadness it stares
The air, it hangs dying
Dressed in the nightmares of old
[Verse 6]
Abandoned in panic
Fortifications decayed
From our own indulgence
The golden age dead
[Verse 7]
"Reality is not always probable, or likely"
—Jorge Luis Borges
[Verse 8]
War
[Verse 9]
The sound of beating wings
Chaotic dreams asleep
As phantoms we answer
At war with reality
As phantoms we answer
At war with reality
