Jobs don't thrive on barren ground
Narrow-minded politics
So-called social scientist tricks
Telling lies and deceive us too
Watching

won't back down nor turn around
I'm still here
On trembling legs traversing barren ground

A flickering flame
Far off in the distance
Is burning

like snow without a sound right onto barren ground like snow without a sound

Winter’s come so cold and dark But comfortable still

Walls of tar around us
Sinking below the barren ground
Enter your prison, enter your home
 
Walls of tar around us
Sinking below the barren ground
