I don't know about you but I didn't sign up for any of this shit. Was it Indiana Jones that opened this whatever the fuck this is?

lyrics

this door

the trees give no shelter from the sky
the fields are fallow
the well dry
the villagers gather for the feast
with their empty bowls
this door once been opened
can’t be closed

the businessman offers you a deal
a fistful of dollars for your last meal
his servants are throwing rocks at your windows
this door once been opened
can’t be closed

the idiot is leading the band
singing jingles to the company brand
it’s the same old song we used to know
we heard this long ago

the preacher lies naked in the road
no one comes to claim his soul
his ghost sits powerless to stop the crows
this door once been opened
can’t be closed

the old witch will tell you no lies
you can see the spell behind her green eyes
she shows her secret behind a curtain of bone
this door once been opened
can’t be closed

the plane falls from the sky
the pilot has no will left to fly
he tells the passengers the same old joke
we heard this long ago
