And on that day they'll tell you

That life hung on with no clue

The warning signs were all dismissed

Or shattered down, so it goes The kings all failed to tell us

The madmen failed to sell us

Of what would then befall

The only life we know When they're burning signal fires

To guide us to the fields

We're building funeral pyres

The outcome of a final appeal The city lines are down

The kerosene's run out

The fracturing of all we relied upon

I shed this unclean skin

And start to feel again

'Cause all the shoulders on which to cry are gone The paranoia gripped us

Berate and then consume us

The panic set in like a cancer to our hearts

Spreading through We bet on finite genius

Or prayed for gods to save us

There was no answer, though

Disease tore us apart With the bodies in the fields

So numb that we forgot how to feel The city lines are down

The kerosene's run out

The fracturing of all we relied upon

I shed this unclean skin

And start to feel again

'Cause all the shoulders on which to cry are gone He looked at the fields and then his hands

All I need is what I have

Then fell a tear of happiness, oh, oh, oh, oh She watched the world crumble away

Is this the end of yesterday?

"Lord, I hope so" is all he said All gone are the old guards

Got all the cold, cold wars

Weightless we go forth

On wings of amnesty Oh, we relied on now The city lines are down

The kerosene's run out

The fracturing of all we relied upon

I shed this unclean skin

And start to feel again

With no more shoulders, shoulders to cry on now No more, no more

No more, no more, no more, no more

The weight that we once felt is gone
