“The Foundations of Decay” See the man who stands upon the hillHe dreams of all the battles wonBut fate had left its scars upon his faceWith all the damage they had doneAnd so time, with ageHe turns the pageLet the fleshSubmit itself to gravityLet our bodies lay while our hearts we’ll saveLet our blood invade if I die in vainNow, if your convictions were a passing faithMay your ashes feed the river in the morning raysAnd as the vermin crawlsWe lay in the foundations of decayHe was there, the day the towers fellAnd so he wandered down the roadAnd we would all build towers of our ownOnly to watch the rooms corrodeBut it’s much too lateYou’re in the raceSo we’ll pressAnd press ‘til you can’t take it anymoreLet our bodies lay while our hearts we’ll saveLet our blood invade if I die in vainAnd if, by his own hand, his spirit fliesTake his body as a relic to be canonized, nowAnd so he gets to die a saintBut she will always be the whore(Let’s flip out!)Against faith (Antihero)Against all life (As if it must be pure)Against change (Wander through the ruins)We are free (The guiltiness is yours)You must fix your heartAnd you must build an altar where it restsWhen the storm decays and the sky it rainsLet it flood, let it flood, let it wash awayAnd as we stumble through your last crusadeWhen you welcome your extinction in the morning raysAnd as the swarming calls, we lay in the foundationsYes, it comforts me much moreYes, it comforts me much moreTo lay in the foundations of decayGet up, coward![photo, lyrics courtesy Kerrang!, May 13, 2022] The Foundations Of Decay is My Chem’s first new song since 2014’s Fake Your Death. -- source link
