Hubris Unchained

Aimlessly I wander<br/> Around the gates of the fortress<br/> Dodging the swindlers chariot<br/> Noxious with the stench of death<br/> <br/> Seems as if no one seems to notice<br/> The wings of war flapping above our heads<br/> Dying for our share of the sky<br/> Noxious with the stench of death<br/> <br/> The blood we spilled here<br/> Has seeped so far down into the earth<br/> We can hardly recognize the smell<br/> Noxious with the stench of death

Meet me<br/> Meet me somewhere we're not supposed to go<br/> <br/> When the sun is gone<br/> The moon covers my eyes and makes me blind<br/> Only the stars can guide me<br/> <br/> You can find me<br/> In the trenches of the city<br/> Bleeding from my nose<br/> Grinning from ear to ear<br/> Asleep at the wheel<br/> Of the masters plan<br/> <br/> Show me<br/> Show me where you want to go<br/> <br/> I can hear the coyotes prancing around us<br/> Moon come cover my eyes<br/> I'm ready to howl with the stars<br/> <br/> Whatever you're waiting for<br/> has already come and gone

Chewing on mountains<br/> Sipping on oceans<br/> He peers down at us<br/> <br/> Specks<br/> Specks who defile the land<br/> A wretched disease<br/> <br/> He has invented Armageddon<br/> For we spoiled his bounty<br/> <br/> Let it come slowly<br/> Returned to the hungry giant<br/> Not for me, for someone else

I've seen death among<br/> the machines and tubes<br/> Dry and sterile<br/> Inhuman<br/> <br/> I want to die among<br/> the trees and the rustling leaves<br/> Rotting and eaten<br/> Selfless<br/> <br/> In death I'll join the past<br/> An atavistic urge<br/> Finally answered<br/> My feral heart set free<br/> <br/> In death I'll rip these chains<br/> No longer tethered to society<br/> No longer marred by the weight<br/> Of a world which wants my blood<br/> <br/> My spirit will seep into the dirt<br/> My flesh will feed the worms<br/> My blood will flow in to the rivers

A horrid game of chase<br/> Blood and soil<br/> Converted to carbon<br/> A lasso of fate<br/> Pulling down our star<br/> <br/> The bulbs of the city<br/> Drown the visions we seek<br/> Masquerading as progress<br/> Smothered in concrete<br/> Crushed by its weight<br/> <br/> We're always smiling<br/> In the face of the sheep<br/> Clenching our jaws<br/> Without a bone to bite<br/> <br/> Beyond the hills<br/> There's a truth<br/> We can't handle<br/> We don't want<br/> We won't find it

Suspended in dirt<br/> Frozen in time<br/> <br/> The trees in the ground have more to offer<br/> than the ideas on mans tongue<br/> <br/> There's fear in the air<br/> There's Pride in the ground<br/> There's hate in the creeks and streams<br/> <br/> If the leaves had fists they'd reach out and crush your dreams<br/> <br/> Let's poison the air with our breath<br/> Let's paint the ground with our blood

Hidden behind the slums there's a fortress<br/> Shrouded in trees and reinforced walls<br/> Concrete moat to keep our world out<br/> Walls and gates to keep their world in<br/> <br/> In the fortress they can pretend to be one of us<br/> Within the walls they can learn<br/> About a world they've never seen<br/> And a life they'll never find<br/> <br/> Peering from the spires<br/> Blind with splendor<br/> Numbed by their convenience<br/> Drunk with vanity<br/> <br/> Deep inside the walls<br/> Surrounded by scrolls<br/> Deafened by pomposity<br/> They know nothing<br/> <br/> Nothing<br/> Nothing<br/> <br/> We'll see how they fare<br/> When the gates open<br/> And they spill out<br/> Gazelles running free<br/> Among jackals and thieves<br/> <br/> No more concrete moat to keep our world out<br/> No more walls or gates to keep their world in
