Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cold brains, unmoved
Untouched, unglued
Alone at last
[Verse 2]
No thoughts, no mind
To rot behind
A trail of disasters
[Chorus]
A final curse
Abandoned hearse
We ride disowned
Corroded to the bone
[Verse 3]
The fields of green
Are bent obscene
I lay upon the gravel
[Verse 4]
And a worm of hope
A hangman's rope
Pulls me one way or the other
[Chorus]
A final curse
Abandoned hearse
We write this song
Corroded to the bone
[Verse 5]
A bird of song
Is heard no longer
In the evacuated heavens
[Verse 6]
And the drain is drawn
And drained and gone
And on and on, it doesn't matter
[Chorus]
A final curse
Abandoned hearse
We write this song
Corroded to the bone
