We 'won the War'[i]; we made a temple to thieves enshrining the great criminal who promised heaven without God[ii].
If we had sight to seem to see the seven seas could cease to be or freeze in me. We'd shake this sudden sundering and subsequently cross the strait[iii] and traverse the wastes[iv]. We'll beat your rifles to shovels[v] and dig a proper grave for our sons who saw the end of God[vi]: Wasteland. The flag will fall with the wall we built[vii]: Wasteland.
Apostate to the State, Witness to the Dead[viii]: For you know only a heap of broken Image[ix] and when you rid this earth of God we shall shelter Him underground[x].
Fall into the coldest wastes of wastes of humanity - darkening circles fed by deepening graves. 'Death solves all problems[xi],' your heart is a statistic[xii]. No mother, no resistance... but still she precludes the grave.
They saw the end of God: Wasteland. The flag will fall with the walls we built: Wasteland.
