all softer magics fall before the lie
that eases into minds and dulls all taste
beneath its glamour we ignore the sky
where carrion birds in masses all now fly
above the lands that swiftly go to waste
all softer magics fall before the lie
we watch the largest rivers all run dry
and wonder just what pain we have embraced
beneath its glamour we ignore the sky
no one's ambitions here would move so high
now our best memories shall be erased
all softer magics fall before the lie
that all will soon be better by and by
when good and sacred words will be enplaced
beneath its glamour we ignore the sky
for far too long and now no honest eye
is left to note the urgent need for haste
all softer magics fall before the lie
beneath its glamour we ignore the sky

all softer magics fall before the lie
that eases into minds and dulls all taste
beneath its glamour we ignore the sky
where carrion birds in masses all now fly
above the lands that swiftly go to waste
all softer magics fall before the lie
we watch the largest rivers all run dry
and wonder just what pain we have embraced
beneath its glamour we ignore the sky
no one's ambitions here would move so high
now our best memories shall be erased
all softer magics fall before the lie
that all will soon be better by and by
when good and sacred words will be enplaced
beneath its glamour we ignore the sky
for far too long and now no honest eye
is left to note the urgent need for haste
all softer magics fall before the lie
beneath its glamour we ignore the sky
