The Dead Hand - Parapraxis Lyrics

I watched the world burn away
Smoldering ashes lay
Before monuments to decay
Blood sweat and years
We've fallen farther now
Bones half buried in the ground
Swords to shares of plows
The cycle repeats

After the disease
I remember everything
Years lost to deceit
And the miles between

Left behind and left for dead
Unraptured in a foreign land
Waiting for the world to end
The tithe of the meek
Acid rain and cellophane
Breathe in breathe in the name
The chemistry will end the pain
Give into defeat

After the disease
I remember everything
Years lost to deceit
And the miles between
Empty eyes and fragile husk
We remember the unjust
Years lost to the both of us
And the miles between
