Like Lepers

Unclean

… and we will scream from the streets, “Unclean! Unclean!”

We won’t be bound by our sickness forever

but we will scream from the streets, “Unclean! Unclean!”

‘til we appease the king. Our Island awaits… 

The Grove

We’ve got our torches ready. It’s time to see what the stars will bring.

We have a message to congregate, sent to all that speak the languages carved in stone.

Behind the gate are things that no man will know,

but the truth will be told in the smoke that rises in the evening sky

We will burn the child inside the grove and sacrifice one of your own.

A hidden meaning we will know. The cremation of Care.

It’s rising, it’s rising up.

The night’s air will be cold and dense and filled with smoke.

Breathe in the ash of innocence.

We will burn for a thousand years a son for every time around

The burning of a thousand sons

We won’t fall, no we won’t fall. (You’ll keep us here forever, we’ll stay here forever.)

…and I can see smoke from under my door. Breathe in, blacken my lungs.

The flames are closing in on me, break the glass now

These men will fight the flames inside, we’ll see it through

and I can see the flashing lights red and blue

Feel the wind as it passes you by

and pray that the wind (Grabs you and saves you, lets you fly, however slightly)

These men will fight the flames inside, we’ll see it through

and I can see the flashing lights, red and blue

The view from here is nothing short of beautiful

I fear not the fall, but I hold my breath and close my eyes

So Much for Georgia

You never thought that we would be any more than this…

Where have we gone? and what have we done? Not as much as it seems

But I can’t believe that you would be one to deceive

You’re someone that I thought I knew, but you’re no one that I’m wanting to

I understand what you wanted all along

I know now that this couldn’t more wrong

I can’t believe that you would do this to me

Coast to coast is much further than you made it seem

We’re a ghost, we’re nothing like I thought we’d be

I understand what you wanted all along

I know now that this couldn’t more wrong

We’re drifting further apart, just how you planned

We will not be what I thought

I see it now, love has made me blind but I see your true colors now

I see your true colors now

Dad, You Were Like a Father to Me

We haven’t got a choice, no options but to steal, to rob the powers that be and break

the molds that seal us into a tomb of no advancement

and no chances to be what we want

There’s a problem here, and it can’t be solved with anything less than rebellion

That will never be forgotten 

We won’t crumble down below

The bottom will revolt against the elite and we will have you 

Begging at our feet, just as you have made us all for years

We refuse to live our lives on our knees

Gather the masses, let them hear these words, it is time to revolt! revolt! revolt! 

We never thought it would come to this

But if the problem persists, we won’t crumble under the weight of oppression

We’ll burn it down and separate the things we want from things we hate

We’ll burn it down
