Hubris Unchained
Aimlessly I wander Around the gates of the fortress Dodging the swindlers chariot Noxious with the stench of death Seems as if no one seems to notice The wings of war flapping above our heads Dying for our share of the sky Noxious with the stench of death The blood we spilled here Has seeped so far down into the earth We can hardly recognize the smell Noxious with the stench of death

Meet me Meet me somewhere we're not supposed to go When the sun is gone The moon covers my eyes and makes me blind Only the stars can guide me You can find me In the trenches of the city Bleeding from my nose Grinning from ear to ear Asleep at the wheel Of the masters plan Show me Show me where you want to go I can hear the coyotes prancing around us Moon come cover my eyes I'm ready to howl with the stars Whatever you're waiting for has already come and gone

Chewing on mountains Sipping on oceans He peers down at us Specks Specks who defile the land A wretched disease He has invented Armageddon For we spoiled his bounty Let it come slowly Returned to the hungry giant Not for me, for someone else

I've seen death among the machines and tubes Dry and sterile Inhuman I want to die among the trees and the rustling leaves Rotting and eaten Selfless In death I'll join the past An atavistic urge Finally answered My feral heart set free In death I'll rip these chains No longer tethered to society No longer marred by the weight Of a world which wants my blood My spirit will seep into the dirt My flesh will feed the worms My blood will flow in to the rivers

A horrid game of chase Blood and soil Converted to carbon A lasso of fate Pulling down our star The bulbs of the city Drown the visions we seek Masquerading as progress Smothered in concrete Crushed by its weight We're always smiling In the face of the sheep Clenching our jaws Without a bone to bite Beyond the hills There's a truth We can't handle We don't want We won't find it

Suspended in dirt Frozen in time The trees in the ground have more to offer than the ideas on mans tongue There's fear in the air There's Pride in the ground There's hate in the creeks and streams If the leaves had fists they'd reach out and crush your dreams Let's poison the air with our breath Let's paint the ground with our blood

Hidden behind the slums there's a fortress Shrouded in trees and reinforced walls Concrete moat to keep our world out Walls and gates to keep their world in In the fortress they can pretend to be one of us Within the walls they can learn About a world they've never seen And a life they'll never find Peering from the spires Blind with splendor Numbed by their convenience Drunk with vanity Deep inside the walls Surrounded by scrolls Deafened by pomposity They know nothing Nothing Nothing We'll see how they fare When the gates open And they spill out Gazelles running free Among jackals and thieves No more concrete moat to keep our world out No more walls or gates to keep their world in
