The Long Defeat - Prometheus (Demo)

There's concrete on the ground, there's poison in the air
And our lust for greed and power radiates everywhere
It's in the seas and in the skies, it's in the breeze blowing by
And it burns long after the last of us has died
Prometheus came
And he brought us the flame
So we burned ourselves alive
While praising his name
I see their corpses frozen still, the flesh cannot decay
But the worthless paper in their pockets has long since blown away
I see their flags and their colors, how their borders did divide
But I see nothing but brothers dead on either side
Prometheus came
And he brought us the flame
So we burned ourselves alive
While praising his name
Prometheus came
And he brought us the flame
So we burned ourselves alive
While praising his name
And now the sins of our fathers become our burdens to bear
We call them heroes and martyrs for all the blood that they've shed
Because we don't just die for our freedom, we kill for it too
It's all we've ever done, it's all we'll ever do
We burn ourselves alive, while praising his name
