Saga City

We added to our concrete And made life more abstract We added to our substance But life had no impact We scraped the very sky And built our progress tall, but- What we fashioned with our minds Was no progress at all A rift in Saga City A fault - unstable ground We clung with all our might But now it can't be found We reduced ourselves to nothing We built upon the sand Our handiwork was tested Our idols could not stand Blame it on our skill We rationalized our wrongs Wisdom could not be fashioned To God it still belongs A rift in Saga City A fault - unstable ground Our world has split apart And wisdom can't be found Wisdon had called out to us And sought to increase our power Rejected by our prideful ways It departed in that hour Our ways were open unto Him His justice - it came due Saga City is now meaningless Our worst fears have come true A rift in Saga City A fault - unstable ground Abandoned by the lie Excuses can't be found
