about

The opener of the Into the mines EP by Ben Armistad. The song explores the increasing disconnect between modern day living and traditional values and the increasing gap between the two.

lyrics

A train found its way off the tracks tonight
spewed debris far and wide mile on mile
the driver thrown clear, looked at the starry sky as he bled out slowly.

the sirens cut through the cold April air
woke the sleeping in the city nearby
you should have heard them cursing for the world outside
about the same time, oh the driver died

chorus
where did we all go wrong
don't tell me now, I don't want to know
the truth might hurt and oh it might effect me
so I close my eyes and lock myself away

the TV news shows a distant war tonight
its not our land they are not our homes, so its not our fight
there's a traffic jam on state highway 5
and a leader in the Hague, he's telling ten thousand lies

so lay abandoned all the things that we could have become
a new high every minute, no thought for the long run.
can we stop the flow of these ever growing rage
its like breaking the world open, turning night time into day

chorus

oh I lock myself away...

oh we, we will not be moved
we're stuck here in our ways
in perfect bliss of everything in a hundred different ways
let the martyrs have their ways and we will have our kingdoms

we will have our kingdoms

where did we all go wrong
don't tell me now, I don't want to know
