about

Apocalyptic dream: Bones, bones everywhere and not a thing to eat. We all deserve a good meal.

lyrics

Columns of smoke climb
Smells in the air, burning
On the ebb of the great divide
A plague of faults still salts your mind

Beneath the skeletons of the barren trees
By narrow path I walk through these
Like fallen leaves, I hit the ground
All around me, there's nothing to be found but

Bones, Bones everywhere
Not a thing to eat
For many many days
I've been walking this maze
Through the rank oppressive heat

120 miles from nowhere
We met in the daytime
I didn't know why we were there
Building wooden stick caves outside
The labor made us weak
And we started to fight
I fell down to my knees
By the muddy river bank I cried.

Bones, Bones everywhere
And not a thing to eat
For 6 long days I've been walking this maze
Everytime I go to sleep

Still many miles from nowhere
Now the river's gone bone dry
No meat nor fruit does the land bear
And the people are dropping like flies

We go on like machines
Throw the bodies in a pile
We keep building building building
And we do not question why
