lyrics

Where your world lay dead, covered in gore
Fear left behind at the dawn of our passing
Each who stood before the other
As if it were their own.
Love we let go blind
At the mere mention of hopes death
And our dreams become the hell we knew too well

Do you sleep often without stirring
A comfortable blanket to betray your knowing
A wooly hide for the hunted
Thoughts of money to drive you onwards
For what little time we are alotted
Before you must shut your doors
Or break down theirs again.

How many goodbyes will you be made to say?
Before you turn upon the ones gving the order
How far will you debase yourself?
In the name of an honour you fail to see
And know cannot be upheld beyond a farce..
A wooly hide.

Too many lambs, slaughtered on newly fertile ground
Fighting dressed as wolves
For a true pack who bay at their rear
In the howling shadows of manipulation
Where through fear of being prey
Men become dogs

If only you had learned to act
To play the part on this great stage
Then you could lounge behind the curtain
When the cameras go off
With another scene complete
Sipping on your follies
And watching the crowd flock to the performance
A religious show of intolerance
In the name of freedom
Performed with upmost commitment
Safe
Above the narrative.

But no
You choose ignorance
And still have learned to act without profit
A persistent need to fit
To be accepted and normal
With no stones slung to you Which couldn't have been cast by your hand
To go where you are told you're needed
Knowing you are only needed to go.
A great fan fair? a hero to be?
Or a burning reminder, that sometimes death is sweeter
As you lay in your hole
Rifle in hand And pull the trigger
To end a hard fight never fought
A mothers tears never seen.

There will be no way back to you
Who crosses those bridges
With plans to burn them
In your wake is death
On your horizon, the same
I should choose to bathe in ashes
Wade through embers
And bring back the memories
Of real people and places
A pandora's box of preserved regrets, fear and hatred
spewed across the earth in the name of their progress
Towards a world which does not need you
Bathed in ashes
Sing the hymns of divine wrath
Cross their burned bridges
with hatred in your heart
Knowing better which way to aim
Go home, adorned in the foresight of what shall be given to all with time
And burn down the playwrights home
Before the next stage is set
And the narrative spews
From those little lambs
Who will learn too late
What it means to destroy.
