When the work is done
And the walls are built
Who'll watch over me
Will you still be there
When the money's gone
And time makes no sense
How can these flowers bloom
In this acid rain
Closer to the grave than you've ever been
Cold sets in
Too close to come back again
Cold sets in
Closer to the grave than you've ever been
Cold sets in
Too close to come back again
Cold sets in
Chills my body to the bone
We're headed for the big freeze
Where only shadows stand
Where frozen smiles crack
Can't see the sun for the sand
I watched the world collapse
It slipped through your arms
I saw the nations split
They slipped through he cracks
Closer to the grave than you've ever been
Cold sets in
Too close to come back again
Cold sets in
Closer to the grave than you've ever been
Cold sets in
Too close to come back again
Cold sets in
Chills my body to the bone
Pumped up on violence
Can't blame the evidence
Destroyed by knowledge
Ignorance is evident
