Human Debris On the Wing lyrics

Afloat on night-blue skies
I spread my wings
Clad in flawless black
Shone upon by countless stars
Landscapes underneath
Are passing me by
Forests, meadows, deserts, mountains,
And the sea

Cities and hamlets
Come and go
Battlefields, graveyards
Come and grow

Your days and decades
Flicker by
Marching aeons pass
Beyond the gates of time

I am watching you
As I was, as I will be

From high above I
Gaze upon your misery

All prudent plans, the great idea
The noble cause of better times
Wisdom, knowledge, understanding
Blown to bits by hate and fear

Your power so small
Your ambition so weak
No persistence at all
Your commitment is fake

I feast on your corpses
I am devouring your dreams
I rest in the palace
That you've raised with your fear
