SoundQ – Barbarians Lyrics

The rifts were inexplicable;
They came like in a biblical parable
and in turmoil they bruised the soil.

Crossing these deserted lands
We didn't expect or understand the cruel, steady pull

In plain view we push our luck:
A vision preys on my jaded mind
Of scarlet waves mounting up to the sky.
In plain view we push our luck:
A vision preys on my jaded mind
Of a burning embrace…

Advancing in complexity
We bred insatiability of monstrous size, before our eyes.

We sealed off every single door, then lost ourselves in the carnival
Of gold and blue – divine and untrue

In plain view we push our luck:
A vision preys on my jaded mind
Of scarlet waves mounting up to the sky.
In plain view we push our luck:
A vision preys on my jaded mind
Of a burning embrace…

What's been corrupted will break and fall,
Scatter around the far corners of the globe.
Out of the deepest ever chasm on earth
Will rise a pillar of rage, then of grief, then of awe;
The barbarians have given birth to a
strange new world outside, outside, oh.

In plain view we push our luck:
A vision preys on my jaded mind
Of scarlet waves mounting up to the sky.
In plain view we push our luck:
A vision preys on my jaded mind
Of a burning embrace…
