Decaying standard set,
the sky is falling fast-
and who would take the fall
for all that we have done
to destroy this sacred ground?
The gods that once
held fealty over us-
are pushed aside...
descending below sea level
lost beneath our sunken coast...
And new rulers of technology, industry, greed-
they are busy molding
what they would call our future...
they are busy killing the opposition...
And if you're not standing
at the top already-
don't expect to make it home
before this nation falls apart...
There may be no escape in this lifetime...
Though I have made my pledge,
and it is not to you...
This hall of mirrors can't hold me
captive for much longer...
You are not a part of my dream-
I will run, and I will take with me
the words I speak that no one hears-
and I believe
in things that most would rather die
than recognize... |
