Hinterland + Metropole Lyrics

A pall hangs upon the future

Only thoughts are of looming disaster

We have many guesses how we collapse

But whichever one, all assume our doom

But we're hanging on

Worn down to the bone

As bad as it's gone

We're still hanging on

Surely some will survive the coming horrors

In a world, dark, dead, forever changed

What kind of ghastly phoenix will rise up from the ash

Will they right the wrongs of old

Or just rebuild the past

But we're hanging on

Worn down to the bone

As bad as it's gone

We're still hanging on

Hinterlands lay vast, ruins of the time before

People cling to a bare and desolate land

Metropoles stretch up to the sky

Putrid air, so many wretched lives

Spent in toil for the few

But we just can't help ourselves to try to persevere

Hope somehow invincible maintains through all the fear

Stoke that inner flame inside your heart

Keep hanging on
