Within this sad moment in time
My self-control is so sublime
It gives me will to survive
It gives me a reason to be alive
It gives me strength to make a start
When all around me falls apart
Alone you weep in all your sorrow
Hide in all thy wealth and borrow
Awake and hope that come tomorrow
The pain has gone and so the horror
We've lost the will to think
We're hooked into the game
We've just become a link
We've no one else to blame
We live a life of self-delusion
We live a life complete confusion
We live a life in self-exclusion
We live a life forgone conclusion
We live a life of mass consuming
We live a life and all is blooming
We live a life that’s unassuming
We live a life and death is looming
They take away all sense to feel
They take away all natural will
They take away your only meal
They take away and mind conceal
They take away all that you hope
They take away and make you dope
They take control by feeding lies
They take control by subtle disguise
They plant a seed into your head
Then manipulate your way ahead
They show the way and you are led
Then work you hard and you are bled
They plant a fear of vulnerable dread
Then tuck away your dreams to bed
They take away your hope has fled
Then control your mind until your dead
To wake the morning glow
And feel the warm embrace
To watch the serpent grow
And die without a trace
We sing a song
We read a rhyme
It’s not too long
Before the crime
The land is burning
The rivers are dry
The sky is turning
Just ask yourself why
No place to turn
No place to hide
You’ll either burn
Or miss the tide
