HØL - PLAGUE STATE

Plague State
I'm crossing the border
Out of paradise lost
To parts unknown
Plague State
Where society's order
and humankind's laws get overthrown
Plague State
And this drum that beats
Like my irrelevant heart
Guides the masses in exodus
Back to the place where they start
With breathless cries and hungry eyes they say
Live Tomorrow
Survive Today
And find another way
Or succumb to the plague
Where chemical winds blow the skin from your bones
Where charlatan emperors cling to their thrones
Where forests grow thick from the seeds that we've sown
We're all on our own
Here in the Plague State
Now the places are changing
But the faces are all the fucking same
Plague state
Barren landscapes we're painting
Where all colours but red will start to fade
Watch the vivid colours start to fade
Watch your friends and lovers start to fade
Everything you knew will start to fade
Nothing's left now
Claw out your eyes while you watch the dead turn in their graves
Line up there against the wall
And face the firing squad
Pay off all your credit cards
And make your peace with God
Save your breath you'll need it
Now the planet's been abused
The virus wrote the death warrant
But we helped tie the noose
Tie the noose
Tie the noose
Tie the noose
Tie the noose
I've done my time
And I want out of this
Plague state of mind
That I've been in
I've done my time
And I want out of this
Plague state of mind
And this drum that beats
Like my irrelevant heart
Guides the masses in exodus
Back to the place where we start
Through countless miles
With broken smiles they say
Live tomorrow
Survive today
Where chemical winds blow the skin from your bones
Where charlatan emperors cling to their thrones
Where forests grow thick from the seeds that we've sown
We're all on our own
Our reality bends 'round the curve of this wheel
That hurtles through space and dictates what we feel
A state in your mind isn't any less real
You'll just learn how to deal
Here in the Plague State
