Gulag Archipelago (Gold) Songtext
Trial in rapid fire succession
Quick to meet their quotas
Innocence means as much here
As the dead care about the living

Ship you from the death trap
Of one front line to the slowing
Of time, cut off
Fading like watered down campfires
Enjoy the closet bedroom, the latrine bath
Labor is the only and one rule
Go ahead and think it over
On none too certain terms

Vultures circling in your head
Your systems dying out
Frostbite, hunger, cabin-fever
The vultures circling overhead

Memoirs expose a grim survivor’s tale
Wide gaps in your crooked teeth
Fear lasting until the death throes
Pattern, history, patterns

The groans test resolve
Barb wire foyer, watch tower voyeur
Cabbage for sustenance
Childhood dreams for the days monotonous
Remember you are the enemy
You have sins to atone for
There’s nothing cruel or unusual about this
Suppression is a key to success

You see the vultures circling overhead
Your systems dying out
Frostbite, hunger, cabin-fever
The vultures have landed now
