lyrics

In the quietest of moments
In honest self-reflection
We become instant human animals
With none of our convictions
There’s no pity, sleep or mercy
On this ship that’s run aground
But gradually we become something
Like men again as we come around

When all that’s been learned has been forgotten
We’ll turn to watch them rock and buckle and sway
And education’s all that’s left
Useless facts at best from books and plays
But better to have beasts that let themselves be killed
Than men who run away

In the quietest of moments
It’s still impossible to think
Simply put, this war has ruined for us everything
What used to bring us joy?
Turns out we’d never really lived
We were better off as kids
Because this on no one I would wish

When all that’s been learned has been forgotten
We’ll turn to watch them fall, their color drained
Damn this phantom limb
I have no heart but still for them it aches
He could not have suffered long
His face was just so calm…
