VERSE 1

The sky above is dressed in black

As we melt into the darkness

And the moon is dripping blood

Down the depths of our despair

The wordless songs of blinded rage

Slit the clouds in nightly colors

And all the wounds of human trace

Are like everflowing tears

CHORUS

Where clouds always cry

Where flames fade and die

Where the lakes are tears from our eyes

The heavenly skies

Machine-minded lies

The burial soul of mankind

VERSE 2

We taste the naked flesh of need

Lost in human thirst and hunger

Oh sweet suicidal earth

Clad in sweet destructive urge

The world is dead but still alive

One dead God to shelter no one

Still we write his name in blood

In the wasteland of our dreams

CHORUS

Where clouds always cry

Where flames fade and die

Where the lakes are tears from our eyes

The heavenly skies

Machine-minded lies

The burial soul of mankind
