lyrics

A billowing smoke stack a heart of coal,
The willows quit weeping for our tarnished souls,
Spilling out blood black, lost control,
Never been so broken, never be made whole

Idle by idle by, we raze the land and slay the sky
Idle by idle by, its a slow burn suicide

Barrelling blindly, a famished beast,
A harrowing nightmare at a ravaged feast,
The arrows will find me when i expect it least,
I swear I been sweating in this savage heat

Idle by, idle by, we raze the land and slay the sky,
Idle by, idle by, its a slow burn suicide

Idle by, idle by, we raze the land and slay the sky,
Idle by, idle by, its a slow burn suicide

Idle by, idle by, it stains our hands and drains us dry
Idle by, idle by, we might be damned but still we try
