Watchtowers Lyrics


Mis-shapen forms malign the horizon

congregate; the hapless orphans of the soul

crippled by silence yet woven together

parading in the shadow of fear

Standing in the halls of degeneration

walls and marbled arches recapturing

artifacts of our decrepit civilisation

antiquated barracks in a funeral world

The Watchtowers are documenting our downfall

making sure every move is archived

there's no motive to interrupt the power struggle

apathetic ones who wait the course of time

Chased around the streets

caught in the crossfire

targeted by hostiles

waiting behind the stones...

On the ground evading the helicopters

flying through the fog of our burning skin

arterial blood in the mortar

human suffering linked to the monarchs throne

Broken transmissions glitch

through tumultuous wet-wired abyss

failed broadcasts of voiceless breath

trailing after distant flares

pilot lights are the radar eyes

hovering above the junkyard automatons

raging through the dismal emptiness

cavorting in a state of disrepair

We've been chased around the streets

caught in the crossfire

targeted by hostiles

waiting behind the stones...

In a stronghold of iron and steel

leering atop the cliffs

industrial angels with ashen halos

peer into a void of life's emptied orifice

Dreams into dust

surrounded by cold towers

firelight in window eyes

pierce into my body

Breaching the borders of abandoned cities

occupying deadzones and expanding ground zero

poised to create our own imprisonment

though fires still burn in the window's eye...

Futile is the fight of a forgotten ideal

A feast upon static beneath the commotion

deafened by revolving white noise loquacity

reported to an empire of erratic execution

discarded in chambers beyond clandestine gates

Chased around the streets

caught in the crossfire

targeted by hostiles

waiting behind the stones...

In a stronghold of iron and steel

leering atop the cliffs

industrial angels with ashen halos

peer into a void of life's emptied orifice
