Excavations Lyrics

Like sparks cast from flint

Life descents into the unseen

The time we spend on this bulb

Finding ways to survive

The story of our kind

Written in sand and stone

Excavating layer by layer

The unwritten guidelines within earth

Diplomatic immunity versus civil revolt

Change of power

Governments overthrown

Negotiating the new way of life

For a future to come

On the crusade ready to be assassinated

To become one with the layers

To be captured by time and aging

Turned to stone by the earth

Excavations of our history

Fossilized in the future we'll be

Excavations

Layers of life

Layers of death

Buried deep down underground

For ages we used rocks and steel to crush bone

Layers of life / Layers of death

Buried deep down underground

For ages we used rocks and steel to crush bone

To evolve to where we are now

The everlasting struggle

The ways we battle our enemies

Pens versus swords

Written through time in the lifeline of earth

The everlasting struggle

The ways we battle our enemies

Pens versus swords

Written through time in the

lifeline of earth

Excavations

Layers of life

Layers of death

Buried deep down underground

For ages we used rocks and steel to crush bone

To evolve to where we are now
