Concrete Sanctuary

Vehicles soar on the horizon

The light of a thousand lamps on motorways

Colossal empty storehouses, echoing the sound of engines

Past twilight we see the transformation

Shadows becoming serenity, with dim neon lights flaring

Signals for mechanical empires to arise

Cold grey walls moan and resonate in steel strongholds

Unheard voices shriek through the eeriness

In a distorted mist of confusion

Residents hear in their sleep,

The silent approach of decay

Responding in nightmares and blackest visions

The darkness of our future days

I caught sight of my reflection,

In a gutter filled with oil

Dilated eyes and pallid flesh

When the fruit of the earth is soured

And the land has spat it's venom back at us

And the veins of the world have collapsed

You'll find me attached by cables

Hissing and spitting to an audience of crude

Orbiting in life unknown

Circling in unanimated paleness

As moths to a flickering lantern

Like failed broken satellites

Unheard voices shriek through the eeriness

In a distorted mist of confusion

A dismal sound between every building erupts

Through a hollow concrete sanctuary

Playing disorderly tunes, to clockwork hearts

Failed satellites, trapped in wires, waves,

Towering street signs

And we will never take the exit.

Clones climb the walls

Of an abandoned factory

In search of nothing...

And we will never take the exit.

Orbiting in life unknown

Circling in unanimated paleness

As moths to a flickering lantern

Like failed broken satellites

And we will never take the exit
