Age of Excuse VI lyrics

Forever uphill atop the remains

Of missed chances, of hope and innocence

The withered bones of those who failed

But more so of those who didn't even try

Bursting through the barbed thickets

Sharp with guilt, deceit and shame

To the petty truths buried underneath

Layers and layers of drivel and mud

In this day and age

The litanies of overskurkens moral

Are the only prayers to be heard these days

And all those who dreamt about a True Revolution

Got distracted by hurting each other

What has to be done, has to be done

The human nature is what it is

We cover our eyes in a call to arms

And turn one edge toward ourselves

Arm in arm in this futile strife

Where cards are marked and odds are little to none

Hand in hand with fate worse than death

Relentless in discontent

In this day and age

Empires get wrecked

Principles get crushed

Saviors get crucified

History gets what?

History fucking gets over it all

And the assassins in rose tinted glasses

At the wrong end of the tunnel of light

Practitioners of paramount scorn

And those who'd rig moral compass rather than bridges

Behold the world and spit on it

The noble and the scum of the earth

Just out of some basic damned dignity

In this day and age of excuse

What has to be done, has to be done

The human nature is what it is

We cover our eyes in a call to arms

And turn one edge toward ourselves

Arm in arm in this futile strife

Where cards are marked and odds are little to none

Hand in hand with fate worse than death

Relentless in discontent

What has to be done, has to be done

The human nature is what it is

We cover our eyes in a call to arms

And turn one edge toward ourselves
