In Ashes We Lie

Are we here to understand
Or to survive?
We are building mountains
The blueprints are being drawn
As breathless words pour from these eyes
Mounds lay like bodies in the morgue
Side by side

In ashes we lie
In ashes we lie
[?]
In ashes we lie
In ashes we lie

Are we here to understand
Or to survive?
Smoke screens and bandages cannot hide
The icons in architecture that stand as archives
Of colossal structures
Assembled to destruction
Layered in degrees of grey scale coating

In ashes we, in ashes we lie

So travel broken rivers
Across the manufactured landscapes
And along the rebuilt curve of the planet
As breathless words pour from these eyes
Yeah
