Songs Lyrics

This is the age of cancer - creeping through the borders
Breaking down defenses from within
This is the age of cancer - occupying the body
Confusing all the issues of the soul
Oh and they say they'll pay us for digging our own graves
So they all come running saying look at the fortunes we've made
Then their told to dig faster - cause it's the age of cancer
And the band plays on

This is the age of cancer giving birth to more decay
Giving license for the victims to be slayed
This is the age of cancer whose cure cannot be found
For it feeds on indifference and delay
Oh and the doctors say its under control
As they look from their window and it eats away at their soul
And they starve as they grow fatter for its the age of cancer
And the band plays on

Oh and my sister shes sitting over there
And she sings and she plays and she lights her little candles everywhere
But it don't really matter - cause its the age of cancer
And the band plays on
