The False Foundation Lyrics by Archive

25

2016

[Verse 1]
Closed inside and shut in your mind
Nothing can wake from the poison
Amazing thoughts all lost and blind
Never before have been seen [?]
Crawl and scrape, but the walls real thick
A glimmer of light is a fading motion
Fooled and played by the devil's trick
Deep in the back, you all go praying
[?]
The room seems down, so full of nothing
The face of ghost, gone cold, distorted
Because of the cold, the sorrow suffering

[Verse 2]
A structure so thin, it's built up on sand
But the planes pick up, the papercuts bleeding
The rich and [?] hold onto the hands
[?] the meeting
Top of the sky with God's fake eyes
All hail the king of the false foundation
You in the dark, deep down and below
Left in charge of the devastation

[Chorus]
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation

[Verse 3]
A temple of [?] sinister
Left climbing to the gates of gold and good times
Everything you thought, now a distant blur
But even for the liars, they twisted horror
The burning of hope and the dreams you had
[?] with a mother crying
Arms raised up to the love collected and going to the land of pure happiness

[Chorus]
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation
The king of the false foundation
