Modern Misery - Architects

Seven billion hungry ghosts

Just a parasite killing its host

The emperor wears no clothes, I see those brittle bones

But we're buried by modern misery

Modern misery

There's not enough water in the world

To wash the blood from our hands

We planted a seed, its roots will suffocate the soul

It grows without light and feeds from our bones

Hell must be empty, all the devils are here

Singing us the Lord's Prayer

Finally, something that we all share

I won't go to the grave with the song still in me

What are we hiding in the rain?

This is a prison for lost souls

Another life circles the drain

We used to run with the wolves

Now we can't see the forest

'Cause there's no light in the black hole

Don't try and tell me we are blessed

We used to run with the wolves

Are these our new messiahs?

'Cause the saviour has a gun to my head

Don't be fooled by Maya, the kings are all thieves

And the serpents will bite as they please

How has it come to this?

I won't go to the grave with the song still in me

And I won't live like a slave begging from my knees

What are we hiding in the rain?

This is a prison for lost souls

Another life circles the drain

We used to run with the wolves

Now we can't see the forest

'Cause there's no light in the black hole

Don't try and tell me we are blessed

We used to run with the wolves

Seven billion hungry ghosts

Just a parasite killing its host

The emperor wears no clothes, I see those brittle bones

But we're buried by modern misery

Modern misery

I won't live like a slave, I won't beg from my knees

I will not go to the grave with the song still in me

We used to run with the wolves

We used to run with the wolves

We used to run with the wolves

We used to run with the wolves
