Modern Misery

Seven billion hungry ghosts Just a parasite killing its host The emperor wears no clothes, I see those brittle bones But we're buried by modern misery Modern misery There's not enough water in the world To wash the blood from our hands We planted a seed, its roots will suffocate the soul It grows without light and feeds from our bones Hell must be empty, all the devils are here Singing us the Lord's Prayer; finally, something that we all share I won't go to the grave with the song still in me What are we hiding in the rain? This is a prison for lost souls Another life circles the drain We used to run with the wolves Now we can't see the forest 'Cause there's no light in the black hole Don't try and tell me we are blessed We used to run with the wolves Are these our new messiahs? 'Cause the saviour has a gun to my head Don't be fooled by Maya, the kings are all thieves And the serpents will bite as they please How has it come to this? I won't go to the grave with the song still in me And I won't live like a slave begging from my knees What are we hiding in the rain? This is a prison for lost souls Another life circles the drain We used to run with the wolves Now we can't see the forest 'Cause there's no light in the black hole Don't try and tell me we are blessed We used to run with the wolves Seven billion hungry ghosts Just a parasite killing its host The emperor wears no clothes, I see those brittle bones But we're buried by modern misery Modern misery I won't live like a slave, I won't beg from my knees I will not go to the grave with the song still in me We used to run with the wolves We used to run with the wolves We used to run with the wolves We used to run with the wolves
