Skyscraper

In the darkness i can hear them
Writhing scratching dig and scrape
This is the mauling of the universe
What will it cost to escape
No war is good - no war is holy
In the starkness i won't fear them
As the sky begins to break
All the powers of the universe
There's no end to what they'll take
As the giant chokes in the mud
Ash in the street soaks up the blood
Disappears or it never was
World spinning just as it does
Ride out the storm block out the sun
Beacon glow shine ray of light
A new plane of insane dimension
Alive in the day and still at night
No war is good - no war is holy
I can't take no more - no war
