It’s a billion to one
That we’re even here at all
And in the fading light
The birds of prey circle
Overhead
In the underbrush
A man with his face broken
Looks up and laughs at the
Shadows that mean his death

And the fat bastard smiles
Chained to a rock
As they rip out his guts
And as the city lights go out
In the dark beneath the walls
Fires start to burn

As years go flying by
The things we build crumble
And as the entropy grows
We tear into little pieces
You work and work and work
Until you finally wake up
And find it’s suddenly late
You’re outside it’s cold 
And you’re defenseless

And the fat bastard smiles
Chained to a rock
As they rip out his guts
And as the city lights go out
In the dark beneath the walls
Fires start to burn

And there’s a chance this means nothing at all
It’s all just marks that we scratch into a wall

And the fat bastard smiles
Chained to a rock
As they rip out his guts
And as the city lights go out
In the dark beneath the walls
Fires start to burn
