Flowers To The Furnace Lyrics - Singles - Sorrowseed

The fires of the civilized world...sparkle in the evening shade 

The comforts warm the creatures She made... 

Leeches form the webs...that provide their peace 

Cities borne of desires and caprice... 

Like Flowers to the Furnace 

Beauty ebbs away 

Wonders put aside 

Thrown to yesterday. 

I remember when 

Times of better men 

Paradise denied 

Never to return again. 

The modern world no longer has life or death 

Only addiction and the fevered dreams of a purpose to fulfill... 

It must be what they've always wanted 

To surrender their will 

And keep the world so still... so still... 

(And kill the world...kill...kill.) 

(Immolation...) 

Burning the cradle of the earth helps them fall asleep 

Burying themselves in falsehoods too deep. 

Progress is the call that has led to this 

Forgetting who they were in the name of bliss. 

Like Flowers to the Furnace 

Consuming everyone 

Nothing ever grows 

Nothing can be won 

I remember when 

Before they drank the chemicals 

So long ago 

Now forever condemned.
