Wasteland Lyrics

We "won the War" ¹; we made a temple to thieves enshrining the great criminal who promised heaven without God ².
If we had sight to seem, to see the seven seas could cease to be or freeze in me. We'd shake this sudden sundering and subsequently cross the strait ³ and traverse the wastes ⁴. We'll beat your rifles to shovels ⁵ and dig a proper grave for our sons who saw the
end of God ⁶: Wasteland. the flag will fall with the wall we built ⁷: Wasteland.
Apostate to the State, Witness to the Dead ⁸: For you know only a heap of broken Image ⁹ and when you rid this earth of God we shall shelter Him underground ¹⁰.
Fall into the coldest wastes of wastes of humanity - darkening circles fed by deepening graves. "Death solves all problems ¹¹," your heart is a statistic ¹². No mother, no resistance... but still she precludes the grave.
They saw the end of God: Wasteland. The flag will fall with the walls we built: Wasteland.

² Joseph Stalin defied the spirit of Marxism-Leninism by taking on a persona of god-like qualities -- promising prosperity to his followers while exiling, executing, and starving large portions of his country.
