Lyrics
[Intro – voice samples] In the beginning Was the word Strange bird calls in a gently echoing space Hey! [Verse 1 – Deca] Let's dig until we hit the bedrock Life is but a dream, a way station to the next stop Less talk, more direct shots to your breadbox While despots turn the third rock into a sweatshop We need room to breathe, sustenance for the soul See the forest for the trees, feel the planets push and pull A few took a step and shook the globe Somewhere off thе crooked road facin' tribulations out the Book of Job The aim's to clip cast a nеt strings attached Hell's bells toll when you let your dreams lapse On the quest for greenbacks where kings clash Set the scene, think fast Catch a flash of light and let the ink splash Here we are passed the point of no return Nerves frayed, shocked watchin' while the world slowly burns The flesh turns to compost to ashes in an urn Flowers for the fallen, food to feed the maggots and the worms Pause and reflect Jolted out of sleep with death's claws on my neck There's tattered rags waving in the dawn's early light And swine pointing pistols at a song bird in flight The empire's unhinged, the eagle's all bones And wolves guard the global henhouse we call home Their mind's eye closed as their power drive grew But they'll never sap the essence from a flower like you [Verse 2 – Deca] Once upon a sci-fi plot Shocked by the prospect of lying in a pine box we saw the sky drop The latest pretext to peek inside of my thoughts and treat the huddled masses like livestock A wasteland of group thought And countless psyops where pryin' eyes watch And use fear to clear the styes and the blindspots Red and blue association games Machiavellian methods and tools to short circuit the able brain We wake up for a sec they rock us back to sleep Quantify our habits feed the data to the beast Pull strings, turn the public square into a circus And salt psychic wounds that fester beneath the surface It's all going smooth as tumbled stone Place one in the slingshot and aim it at Goliath in the Thunderdome Troubadour taught to place faith in love alone Blood and bone Driven from the land of milk and honeycomb Pause and reflect Jolted out of sleep with death's claws on my neck There's tattered rags waving in the dawn's early light And swine pointing pistols at a song bird in flight The empire's unhinged, the eagle's all bones And wolves guard the global henhouse we call home Their mind's eye closed as their power drive grew But they'll never sap the essence from a flower like you [Outro – voice samples] The fledglings begin to exercise their well-feathered wings By the time they can fly they will be able to feed from flowers
