American Melancholy Lyrics by David Galas

The Cataclysm

2006

[Verse 1]
I wake up in a field
Overlooking the trees
The city of man across it
And the Sun is swallowing me
[Chorus]
What has become, of this beautiful world in this dream
Oceans of blood from a melting messiah
Crossing my arms and waiting to die
[Verse 2]
The mountains open their mouths
Draining the last breaths of time
Leaders of men die lying
Killing again...
[Chorus]
What has become, of this beautiful world in this dream
Oceans of blood from a melting messiah
Crossing my arms and waiting to die
What has become, of this beautiful world in this dream
And oceans of blood from a melting messiah
Crossing my arms and waiting to die
