Lyrics

As summer retreats and fades
To haunting shades of tarnishing gold
An old and ancient thing lies underneath
A lingering fissure grows
A shadow is creepin' in
Is everything cavin' in?
They gouge and they dig into
The rock and the stone that's buried below
The weakened and hollowed walls stand wavering
The looming fracture grows
The bedrock is wearing thin
The bedrock is wearing thin
It feels like we're cavin' in
The chasm grows
Is everything cavin' in?
The ramparts come tumbling down
The bedrock was spoiled so long ago
Gilded walls fall to the ground
Every day the fracture grows
The ramparts come tumbling down
The bedrock was spoiled so long ago
Gilded walls fall to the ground
Every day the fracture grows
Everything's cavin' in
Withering stones
Everything's cavin' in
Downward it goes
Downward it goes
Downward it goes
Downward it goes
Downward it goes
