Cut Sign Songtext
von Artifex Pereo

Walk
Keep up with me, don't look back
Don't look at the dying men
The devil is in this dust
And he's calling on us
Each rock is a tombstone that rests a soul
Whose bargain was not upheld
The peaks and the canyons so beautiful
Hold collections beneath this ground
The river's gone
For the earth is deprived as well
We need a new
Kind of prayer to beat this hell
Son
Be strong
Remember why
We chose to risk our lives
Picture your mother with
A roof above her head
And a smile that never ends


This test is one that will earn us
All we deserve
I'll be damned if imaginary lines keep us away
From the land known for its harvesting
Of hopes and dreams
I'll be damned if a fellow man decides my family's fate
With enchantments and deceptions
Coyotes led us to a certain death
Pockets lined with greed
Shared like our blood
But our greed was born to different mothers
We're getting close
Or maybe just wishing so
Burning flesh and swelling backs have left us crawling
Through failure
Suffocating, swelling hearts hang by the threads sewn
By loved ones
Son
Be strong
Remember why
We chose to risk our lives
Picture your mother with
A roof above her head
And a smile that never ends
This test is one that will earn us
All we deserve
I'll be damned if imaginary lines keep us away
From the land known for its harvesting
Of hopes and dreams
I'll be damned if a fellow man decides my family's fate
With enchantments and deceptions
Coyotes led us to a certain death
Pockets lined with greed
Shared like our blood
But our greed was born to different mothers
