Combing the Ruins Lyrics

Life on the road

Here for the day

Huddle from cold

Then on our way

Forage and scrounge

Till all are fed

Takes but an hour

Free until bed

Lounge in the shade

Of crumbling ruins

From a long ago age

In the shadow of doom

And what did they know

Where did they go

Machines that they built

Putter here still

Working on tasks

Thought nobody asked

The eternal servants of ghosts

Or were they Gods

Come from the stars

Machinists divine

Who do provide

Inscrutable clues

But also our food

An unknown purpose

Or indifference

Or are they just versions of us

Watching unseen, through every machine

Conducting a test, or causing torment

Whichever the one, proceed with caution
