x2
Blacktop pavement cover me
Like a chemical reaction or a steam roller Spreading randomly
There's a distant buzz and a low frequency
It tickles my ear, it rumbles under my feet
And it shakes the leaves off of every tree (violently)
What pretension! Everlasting peace
Everything must cease
x2
Institution on the Hill
Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor To ignite a people's will
There's a shadowed stain on the west facade
It has spread like decay to enshroud the fraud
And the descendants find oh so odd (oh so odd)
What pretension! Everlasting peace
Everything must cease
x2
Grave memorial hewn white stone
Like the comforting caress of a mother Or a friend you've always known
It evokes such pain and significance
What was once, is reduced to remembrance
And the generations pass without recompense (aaah aaah aaah)
What pretension! Everlasting peace
Everything must (cease)
That's it!
