Intro: () Blacktop pavement cover me Like a chemical reaction or a steam roller, spreading randomly There's a distant buzz at low frequency It tickles my ears, rumbles under my feet And it shakes the leaves off of every tree Vio-lent-ly What protention everlasting peace Everything must cease Intro Institution on the hill Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor to ignite a people's will There's a shadow stain on the west facade It is spread like decay to enshroud the fraud And the descendants find it oh so odd Oh so odd What pretension everlasting peace Everything must cease ( G)(x2) () Grave memorial hewn white stone Like the comforting caress of a mother or a friend you've always known It evokes such pain and significance What was once is reduced to rememberance And the generations pass without recompense Aa-aaaa-hhh... What pretension everlasting peace Everything must cease Intro Everything must cease ()(x3) ()
