Songtext Dead and gone Sonic Syndicate

Dead and gone

There is no shelter; just the body God gave us
And all we can do is to hope that that's enough
Well, I know the rules; always did
They are written inside of my eyelids
It's an imperfect world we live in,
But it's the only world we have

The less we get, the more we want
In this throwaway society
Fading to the point of no return
We're at a crossroads
Just follow the compass of your heart
Until we all get torched
Get torched by the undying sun

WHEN WE'RE DEAD AND GONE
WHEN OUR MISTAKES BEEN DONE
A CELESTIAL CORPSE WILL CARRY ON
AND IT WILL ILLUSTRATE
HOW WE UNDERMINED OUR OWN EXISTENCE
WHEN WE'RE DEAD AND GONE A
ND OUR MISTAKES BEEN DONE
LET'S ALL JUST FACE THE FACTS
NO MATTER HOW WE BEND OR BREAK IT
WE MAKE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE

Out of all our human-crafted artifacts
The longest-lasting will be our redesigned atmosphere
Now, how does that make you feel that we're beyond repair?
We sealed our fate in this slow-motion suicide

The less we get, the more we want
In this throwaway society
Fading to the point of no return
We're at a crossroads
Just follow the compass of your heart
Until we all get torched
Get torched by the undying sun

What we set in motion must play itself out
So we can hand the Earth over in better shape than we accepted it
