Wasteland (Vechnost) Lyrics

We "won the War" [i]; we made a temple to thieves enshrining the great criminal who promised heaven without God [ii].

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 [iii] and traverse the wastes [iv]. We'll beat our rifles to shovels [v] and dig a proper grave for our sons who saw the end of God [vi]: Wasteland. The flag will fall with the wall we built [vii]: Wasteland.
Apostate to the State, Witness to the Dead [viii]: For you know only a heap of broken Image [ix] and when you rid this earth of God we shall shelter Him underground [x].

Fall into the coldest wastes of wastes of humanity - darkening circles fed by deepening graves. "Death solves all problems [xi]," your heart is a statistic [xii]. 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.
