about

disregarded as a doomsayer

lyrics

We shoulda seen it coming, how we should have known
But we were too far gone, possessed with ghosts from long ago
Wearing the wartime colors brighter than the sun
To defend an earth covered in rot this battle must be won
For all our stoic speeches
Of stiffened backs and calls to fight
We never thought to look back
To see our future left behind

The bowstrings drawn, arrows alight
We're sinking deeper as they streak across the sky
Returning home to nothing left
And when it ended we were somehow still surprised
Unsudden death

Heels digging deeper into lifeless, broken ground
Defied the vultures and the rabid baying of the hounds
No omen was enough to satisfy our lust
We betrayed all other gods except the ones that promised blood
For all our great ambitions
For all the songs we thought they'd sing
To call to mind our vict'ry
We never would win anything

The bowstrings drawn, arrows alight
We're sinking deeper as they streak across the sky
Returning home to nothing left
And when it ended we were somehow still surprised
Unsudden death

Where'd it all go wrong (we'll cry in pain)
We could have stopped this all along (but we fought in vain)
But like hell we'll give up ground

For all our stoic speeches
Of stiffened backs and calls to fight
We never thought to look back
To see our future left behind

And when we tell our children
We'll say the other army fled
But what we leave our children
A slow and agonizing unsudden death

The End of Progress
by mystakin

It's haunting, dark, moody prog rock that alternately makes you want to plan the demise of the human race, bust out the whiskey and party, and go kick someone's ass. Also Mystakin is a great guitarist Single White Infidel
