So overcomplicated our lives,
We fill our days with momentary distractions,
It's almost as if we dont realize,
How everything can change within an instant.
See, I've been running my entire life,
Keeping others at a cold safe distance,
A recipe that leads to suicide,
I've seen it ravage families around me.
But I'm through running,
I've learned too much just to throw it all away.
And with this final breath within me scream:
We Belong Together.
No movement in the streets, the sky a roaring hell.
With Iron hand we herd the masters to their cells.
In Isolation there's no meaning to convey,
Sedated well to keep their feral thoughts at bay.
Ride out to meet the horde head on in combat,
Spare not the meek, the old, for gold and conquest!
My bleary eyes, are stretched wide, arms strapped tight.
Implanted scene, Forced to dream a million lies.
Rise Up For Me, Your Home, you take for granted.
Spare not a leaf, a globe, the whole Atlantic.
Rise Up For Me
Dry Out The Seas
Hushed, The silence builds, so oddly still, system reprised,
Harvest complete, resource depleted, the power dies,
Deep in the core, the central brain must now decide,
Do I shut down or will I sacrifice their lives?
Cold, Consciousness stirs, my body curls all racked and lame.
Open my eyes, more side by side, naked in shame.
Wandering up through darkened tunnels as a knave,
We found a path back to the world where once we came,
Under the black and curling smoke that chokes the sky,
Our prior vessels, vacant, molted, cast aside.
We belong together
I want to believe it will come back again,
I want to believe
