Cannibals and Atrophy

For our protection, they told a lie
About the ruin
And the ones that died
Are soon forgotten, they fade away
A painful memory that we cannot fade

Up on the hillside the scars remain
Despite the speeches
And the pouring rain
Slowly rolls down
To the silent shore
Is dark and empty
It cries no more

Everybody listen
       Don't let them change our minds
       The way they did the last time
       Don't let them build a wall around it
       Don't let them change our minds
       The way they have from the first time
       They lie, and lie, and lie and lie about it

For our protection they told a lie
To kill the memories of the ones that died
Are another nightmare in this land of dreams
Where all the news is not what it seems
But we still believe it

       Don't let them change our minds
       The way they did the last time
       Don't let them build a wall around it
       Don't let them change our minds
       The way they have from the first time
       They lie, and lie, and lie and lie about it
