lyrics

Absent silver linings
Forlorn network built on sand
Witnesses to apathy
As disease spreads 'cross the land

Severed people made of straw
Faith is such a sham
While the underclass pay penance
Amplified by a bitter past

Oh how it'd feel to dine on swine
Digest their insides
Seances in the dark of night
Forfeited daylight
Oh how it'd feel to dine on swine
Digest their insides
Seances in the dark of night
Looking for The Hourglass Shrine

Absent are your findings
Back to back days to back months
Repeating cycles
While you take your cut

Stealing time
While we count sand
Testing the limits
Steady be thy hand
A tranquil fast
Before the feast
Out of time
Imprisoned beast

Oh how it feels to dine on swine
Digesting traces of the divine
Seances in the dark of night
Oh how it feels to
Cherish the hourglass shrine
Bow to the hourglass shrine
Die by the hourglass shrine
Turn over the hourglass shrine
We all worship
The hourglass shrine
We all worship
The hourglass shrine

Preying autocracy
Weakened democracy
Our country tis of thee
means nothing anymore to me

Oh how it feels to dine on swine
Digesting traces of the divine
Seances in the dark of night
Worshiping the hourglass shrine
