The Unbridgeable Chasm Lyrics - Misery Index

These images of the television heads 

Spouting promises that disappear in days 

Move and shift as we cross the Styx 

And the carnival slips out of town 

Past ideas never did us anything 

The rolling stone of progress flattened us 

We move and shift as the Rubicon laps 

At the fast of the masses that never return 

You quench your thirst with ashes 

You plant your seeds in sand 

And watch as weeds devour 

You pride these institutions that glorify disease 

One thousand knives have stabbed 

The backs of those you've deceived 

You can't get there from here 

The beaten path's a dead end road 

Burning bridges coming down again 

We hope and pray for a leader to come 

Our new world man realized 

Is the jackal enthroned with his suit and phone? 

The financial demon's arrived 

Hype and praise for the avaricious way 

All sacrifices must be made 

Get in line and put the noose on your neck 

There's plenty of rope for us all 

You think you make the difference 

Yet you ingest their gruel 

And reek with stench of profit 

You pride these institutions that glorify disease 

One thousand knives have stabbed 

The backs of those you've deceived 

You can't get there from here 

The beaten path's a dead end road 

Burning bridges coming down again 

[Incomprehensible] 

The crowd is shifting the target's getting closer 

The bastard smiles with his sinister grin, yeah 

It's retribution, no mercy ever given 

The wolf is howling as the sheep devour
