The water flows so deep
into craters that were once called home
by a species long forgotten
with a language burnt into stone
We sing for Sodom and Gomorrah
our once departed nation in a shallow grave
with fuzed glass blasted beneath us
to destroy once a civilisation
To destroy a hidden world
To destroy only 6 feet below
Glazed yet what a better world
with out all these 24 channel
high on life self prophecies
With the power in two hands to remove us from orbit
what it one hand twitched and the other hand saw it?
We could see Everest as a pebble in a mine
with evidence of an element 115
A past apocalypse has seen an Effigy of Sin
where flesh turns to ash
and memories turn from vapour to shredded skin
A past apocalypse has seen an Effigy of Sin
where memories are met burned to sand
into a glass like spin
A single atom with the power of the stars
as bright as 10,000 suns rose before an Incan dawn
and was split with the force of a thousand nuclear bombs
and left was the words hanging out of their mouths
We are burnt to the ground
we are all burnt
An Effigy of Sin is a man's legacy of war
Where a grey beard doesn't mean your wise
just that you've seen it all before
An Effigy of Sin is a man's legacy of war
where a families legs turn to cracks
on a blonde granite floor
The race is on to destroy ourselves
just like once with an ancient weapon
We will light the sky with an incandescent splendour
but burn everything known, so no one will remember
