Veiled among the brushes
They lie in wait for more
Cunning shrewd appraisal
Meets superstition, lore
Parasites and scavengers
Seldom known by name
They lie and wait
For more
So dance the mice with malice
With watchful eyes our way
More occupied with trinkets
Insatiate decay
Brazen with impunity
Ruthless sovereign wage
They lie and wait
For more
To fate we leave our will
To destiny our means
We’ve proven our loath
Imparted our seams
Late the hour of resolve
When finally we see
(Will we rise? Or will we fall?)
The light shines green
Impaled among the ashes
A whisper in the squall
Suffer them to anon
To be nothing at all
If precedence and patterns
Reveal a certainty
They’ll lie and wait
To fate we leave our will
To destiny our means
We’ve proven our worth
We part at the seems
Late the hour of resolve
When finally they’ve seen
(Will we rise? Or will we fall?)
The light shines green
What can I do?
We try our best
I’ve worries too
Our lives aren’t blessed
I’m needed here
We’ve ills at home
The timing’s poor
I wish I’d known
Can’t change the world
I’m just one man
It’s not my problem
Where’s Sudan?
Why should I care
And who would miss
We suffer… true
But not like this
Blood on my hands
Whole world ablaze
On my shoulders
Oh how it weighs
Hold your breath and ride on…
