Nothing Grows lyrics

All of the sterile lands you once stole, to rise and fall You built empires and burnt them, in the sacred name of your own fame Shame on your success To be reborn and restart but Turn back and see that nothing grows on Those tracks - you left are poisoned with scorn and it won't fade All your progressions must cause offense, such a nonsense Always obsessed by your ending, your plans can bloom as fast as weeds Greed leads your great quest To be reborn and restart but Turn back and see that nothing grows on Those tracks - you left are poisoned with scorn and it won't fade Preserving treasures by caging them deciding who lives and who dies Every morning I light up another defeat and deplore my failure Amazed by your decay, you longed and hoped for an end Time of the defeat was so close, so clear, to be feared
