August Burns Red

The Wake

Destroy everything cleanse

Wipe away the filth

Set fire to your waste

Burn everything

Back into dirt

Burn everything

Flood, drown the earth

It's what we deserve

Rehash the poisons

You breathe in the air

Tear down what you say your father created

Constructing buildings over buildings

Conceal history like a shameful scar

This world has lived for a million years with more to come

It's only a matter of time until you choke on your indifference

Struggling to breathe as the water fills your lungs

Trying hard to scream as it rises into your throat

The reckless, the careless

Will reign until the oceans rise

Flood, drown the earth

It's what we deserve

This world has lived for a million years with more to come

It's only a matter of time until you choke on your indifference

Struggling to breathe as the water fills your lungs

Trying hard to scream as it rises into your throat

Wake up

And save yourself

The sea will reclaim

What it worked to create

Wake up

Save yourself

Pick up the pieces

Ask for forgiveness
