story behind the song: the world today and apparently what we have become
Lyrics
When you look out from your eyes
and see the shades of truth
When you look up into the skies
and see the clouds turned news
When everyone has their hand out
wanting more than help
When everyone screams and shouts
they have fresh souls to sell
and then an antediluvian plague
like the one from long ago
washes the silt from today
the refuse you used to know
and then another orsonwellian fire
the aliens must be burned
a hundred thousand years of our desires
never to be unyearned
walking amongst the monsters
walking amongst those new born dead
walking amongst the monsters
talking in words you never said you said
and then when you finally arrive
to your promised land do tell
all the wonders of being alive
overwhelm your sense of self
and then when you lay you down
amidst the ivied and the flowered
all your colour tends to bleed out
as your sweetness turns to sour
walking amongst the monsters
walking amongst those new born dead
walking amongst the monsters
talking in rhymes or ranting instead
walking amongst the monsters
talking in tongues of dread
