Assemblage 23 - Blindhammer lyrics

All our fathers' backs are broken And our prophets are insane There is no one left to guide us No catalyst for change We are too young to know better But frailty comes with age So we run towards Armageddon While our legs still have the strength And like a blind hammer That destroys what it can't see Tear down the walls of progress And spit on our ancestry Indiscriminate And full of empty rage Gunning down the fields of fear We're unable to a**uage All our best days are behind us And the path's strewn with debris That we'll sweep beneath the carpet Where no one else will see We live beneath the specter Of an omnipresent doom We know for sure it's coming It's just a question of how soon And like a blind hammer That destroys what it can't see Tear down the walls of progress And spit on our ancestry Indiscriminate And full of empty rage Gunning down the fields of fear We're unable to a**uage The world has changed around us And our vision's grown opaque We believe we have the answers But never learn from our mistakes There's a gift that sits before us But it's barely out of reach So we turn our backs and walk away And sing our souls to sleep And like a blind hammer That destroys what it can't see Tear down the walls of progress And spit on our ancestry Indiscriminate And full of empty rage Gunning down the fields of fear We're unable to a**uage There is a time to be born And a time to die A time to embrace And time to refrain from embracing There is a time to build up And a time to tear down A time to love, and a time to hate A time to k**, burn, bludgeon, and mutilate
