[Lyric] Facade (Fyr)

And so, the behemoth crumbles
From the sun, our sworn protector
Collapse, reducing inertia
As the paint once dry has started to peel

We watched, we breathed the ash
Like flies on the wall, the derelict sons and daughters of apatheia

Letting deities dissolve
And monuments shatter
We scrape by, feeding off the grains
But like rats, we eat
All on the platter
Until choking on what remains
We now stand
With a blatant disregard
For that which is holy, letting
Deities dissolve
And monuments shatter
May the earth reabsorb our existence
In a decade, from coinage to carrion
Ramshackle shelters where once steel arches loomed
Former streets erode into gravelly canyons
Carving deep a tale of simian doom

We clung so desperately, trying to mend
The widening disconnect to the we fauna we fled
We watched this, breathed the ash
As the rats in the walls, royally lumped together, as we brace for the fall

Letting deities dissolve
And monuments shatter
We scrape by, feeding off of the grains
But like rats, we eat
All on the platter
Until choking on what remains
We now stand
With a blatant disregard
For that which is holy, letting
Deities dissolve
And monuments shatter
May the earth reabsorb our existence

Eden no longer remembers our names
Neglect has fueled dementia
And as God plays dice with us all
I swear, the luscious plains devolve
