Sink, England, Sink

Cutting holes in the sky, behold the grey divide

Burn whatever's left behind

First in tragedy, then in shame repeats the past

Turn out the lights if you leave here last

It's a brave new world

It's a far cry

To a heart-less heavy

Eyes open wide

It gets hard to see

In empires shadow

And every year

It gets harder to care

'tween ones and zeros half-truths wage war

Keeps you present keeps you down

And if it gets too dark again

I only hope you hesitate

We're all defined by the choices we make

It's a brave new world

It's a far cry

To a heart less heavy

Eyes open wide

It gets hard to see

In empires shadow

And every year

It gets harder to care

No compromise, no foundations found

No shadows of doubts, no turning back

No alibis, no spanners in works,

No sudden movements, no lessons learned

No earth unscathed, with bloody hands

Scraping to the top, no equal footing

Broken minds broke new ground

For better for worse, reap what you sow
