Fractures Lyrics
The devil's at our door
The Bloodwoods shiver in the glare of summers haze
Dust of ancient lands breathes beneath our feet
Since the dawn of time, giver of life divine
Shadowed by dark ruination, looming down the line
The poisoned lies of narrow minds
Now spread into the soul of life
Bitter blight fractures life
This call for change won't be too late
The devil's at our door
Selling fool's gold and a miracle cure
Hearts of fire unite and man their barricades
Truth is overwhelming and yet
Hollow men still talk in vain
Sowing sickness, shifting focus away
Setting in stone a future we cannot sustain
We can't quench our thirst on profits gained
And we can't turn back once it begins
Bitter blight fractures life
This call for change won't be too late
They poison the well and expect us to drink
When the river runs dry only then
Then will they see
You can line your pockets, but you can't buy back your soul
These gates are locked, this future is not yours to own
Bitter blight fractures life
This call for change won't be too late
Dust of ancient lands breathes beneath our feet
Since the dawn of time, giver of life divine
Shadowed by dark ruination, looming down the line
Now spread into the soul of life
This call for change won't be too late
Selling fool's gold and a miracle cure
Truth is overwhelming and yet
Hollow men still talk in vain
Sowing sickness, shifting focus away
Setting in stone a future we cannot sustain
And we can't turn back once it begins
This call for change won't be too late
When the river runs dry only then
Then will they see
These gates are locked, this future is not yours to own
This call for change won't be too late

it is obvious what this song is about. for those who didn't get it, it is mainly about everyone wasting the Earths resources and being greedy. 'there's no going back once it begins'. what is gone is gone and will take millions of years to replenish. it's not too late to change. if we change now and stop being in love with money or 'profits gained' and luxury we will survive. overall this song is very awesome and I cant stop listening to it. parkway drive rules!!!!
@jonjonwinny all their songs on this album seem to follow the album's concept of "Ire". i.e. anger at different aspects of society. Many focus on governments, society in general, religion and this one focuses on the environment IMO too. They had a similar song, can't remember the title now on Atlas too.
