lyrics

20 shovels of dirt and stone and the list goes on
20 shovels of dirt and stone and you're underground
20 shovels of dirt and stone and its still unknown
20 shovels of dirt and stone and you're halfway home

There's revolution in the biosphere
The inmates have disappeared
The officers have left their beds
The aquifers are dry and dead
The hardwood trees are all cut down
The birds and bees have gone to ground
The senators just turn away
As we prepare, as we prepare for the

Parasite

Welcome to the geodome
The innocents have all gone home
The acolytes just shake their fists
The undertaker’s sorely missed
The butterflies go up and down
The gravity
The dueling seconds for despair
As we prepare, as we prepare for the

Parasite

Stop!
