Severed Tongues - Oil In The Water Lyrics

There's oil in the water
I've seen the world through wide eyes
Holding on to mend our ways
Paving roads built with destruction
We need to reclaim and change our fate
We think that we're immortal kings
Sitting on these thrones of gold
Slowly drowning in the sands of time
Waiting for our empires to burn
Empires to burn
We've locked ourselves in the kingdom
And now we poison the waters
The blood runs cold
There's oil in the water
We're cutting life so thin
One crack from caving in
Is this all we'll ever know
The Earth will swallow us whole
Black blood
Black blood
Black blood
Fills the sea
Black blood
Is this what we wanted
We've locked ourselves in the kingdom
And now we poison the waters
The blood runs cold
We've taken more than we wanted
And drained the life from the oceans
The blood runs cold
Oh
There's oil in the water
It's bleeding from their eyes
It's draining on the sickness
Consuming them alive
We think that we're immortal kings
Sitting on these thrones of gold
Slowly drowning in the sands of time
Waiting for our empires to burn
Empires to burn
Empires to burn
