Lyrics
Verse 1
Concrete idols rot beneath a toxic sky
We crawl through filth and ask the void to justify
Grind the gears, the wheel keeps spinning round and round
Plucking garbage from the desecrated ground
Preacher screams about the vapor in the air
God is silent in the neon-lit despair
Another hollow promise wrapped in rotting lace
Salvation wearing plastic on its face
Chorus
All is smoke! All is void!
Every pleasure manufactured and destroyed!
Underneath the sun, the machinery hums
We eat the dirt and swallow down the crumbs!
Nothing new left to steal, nothing real to embrace
Just a grinning skull in a digital space!
Verse 2
Wisdom is a disease that rots the core
We beg for more while bleeding on the slaughter floor
Tear down the temple, let the ash blow free
There is no mercy in the ancient prophecy
Eat the flesh of sorrow, drink the poison wine
Nothing in this furnace ever was divine
Chasing after wind until your throat goes dry
Staring blankly at a dead and heavy sky
Chorus
All is smoke! All is void!
Every pleasure manufactured and destroyed!
Underneath the sun, the machinery hums
We eat the dirt and swallow down the crumbs!
Nothing new left to steal, nothing real to embrace
Just a grinning skull in a digital space!
Verse 3
The rivers run forever to a hungry sea
Yet the ocean never fills, it bleeds endlessly
We stack our shiny trinkets up against the night
And pray the darkness won't devour up the light
A fool and king will share the exact same bed
When the soil reclaims the living and the dead
So dance around the altar, laugh at your decay
The shadow swallows everything at end of day
[Bridge]
A time to love, a time to kill and burn!
Watch the tragic carnival of mortals turn!
Strip away the makeup, strip away the throne—
Just an animal howling alone in the zone!
Rotting from the inside, leaking out the seams
Living out the nightmare of the preacher's dreams!
[Interlude]
Everything is vanity!
Welcome to the vanity!
Burn it down!
Burn it down to the dirt!
[Chorus]
All is smoke! All is void!
Every pleasure manufactured and destroyed!
Underneath the sun, the machinery hums
We eat the dirt and swallow down the crumbs!
Nothing new left to steal, nothing real to embrace
Just a grinning skull in a digital space!
[Outro]
Chasing the wind.
Nothing left to save.
Straight from the crib.
Straight to the grave.
Vapor.
Dust.
Nothing.
