lyrics

Our business is the end of days,
The end of Rhodes, the end of Rome,
And the dust rising against the sky
As the masses bled and cried
And fed upon the dead.

Our business is the end and the beginning;
Of what? We will never know.
No eyes to see, no ears to hear,
No mouth to gripe and groan.

The spinning death's head's grinning,
The wind plays through dry bones,
Inside we feel the emptiness;
Search the skies, and know we are alone.

Our business here is finished,
Our work now is done:
After all this toil and blood turned to soil
What have we become?
