lyrics

I don’t know much about religion
But it’s a good nurse to the soul
And it’s sooner forgotten once the bandage is removed
Follow footsteps of misfortune to a king with paper crown
A fortress without foundations
Is sure to crumble to the ground
And the last exit lies ahead to Babylon
As we follow along the road to oblivion

The road to oblivion
The road to oblivion
The road to oblivion

Hollow are the trees of knowledge
Where broken branches never grow
Tap-roots milk the bitter soil
And they fall down row by row
And nothing feels better
Than feeling nothing at all
Deep inside the walls of Soma
Forego the storm before the calm
And the last exit lies ahead to Babylon
As we follow along the road to oblivion

The road to oblivion
The road to oblivion
The road to oblivion

Smile on young restless pilgrims
A brave new world is on the rise
Shout a long with bloodied soldiers
And try to drown the battle cries
‘Cuz the last exit lies ahead to Babylon
As we follow along the road to oblivion

The road to oblivion
The road to oblivion
The road to oblivion
