Parkway Drive – Land of the Lost Lyrics

 

Land of the Lost Lyrics by Parkway Drive

 

Like drones to their makers
Like pigs in the trough
Never souls, we are numbers
In the land of the lost, dig

Guilt is the weight of the mind
Heavy as Heaven, cold as the night
Pain is the price of denial
The promise of Hell in the Devil’s design
In the Devil’s design
In the Devil’s design
In the Devil’s design
The promise of Hell

Are you a righteous boy?
Are you a penitent girl?
We’ve been down so long
We forgot why we were searchin’
But there’s bodies in the basement
And there’s dirt on the soul
There’s a presence of omnipotence
Reaching down to guide us all

Keep diggin’
Keep diggin’ the hole down deeper
Keep diggin’
Keep diggin’, the whole thing runs on

Hope is the hollow inside
Empty in promise, it echoes the mind
Faith is the noose that we wind
The prayer that tomorrow will forgive our lies
Will forgive our lies
Will forgive our lies
Will forgive our lies
The prayer for tomorrow

Are you unholy boy?
Are you a godless girl?
We’ve been down so long
We forgot why we were kneelin’
But there’s a dream they can sell you
For a credit on your soul
So bite the hand or bite the bullet
No choice you make will breed control

Keep diggin’
Keep diggin’ the hole down deeper
Keep diggin’
Keep diggin’, the whole thing runs on
Keep diggin’
Keep diggin’
Keep diggin’
Keep diggin’, the whole thing runs on

Like drones to their makers
Like pigs in the trough
Never souls, we are numbers
In the land of the lost
Like drones to their makers
Like pigs in the trough
Never souls, we are numbers
In the land of the lost

In the land of the lost
In the land of the lost
In the land of the lost
And they’re leadin’ us down like lambs to the slaughter
Oh, yeah
They’re leadin’ us down like lambs to the slaughter

They’re grindin’ us down

Keep diggin’
Keep diggin’ the hole down deeper
Keep diggin’
Keep diggin’, the whole thing runs on
Keep diggin’
Keep diggin’
Keep diggin’
Keep diggin’, the whole thing runs on

Keep diggin’, the whole thing runs on blood
