Ape Uprising

Alone in the bell tower Paying for my crime Born into exile Servant to its chime Beware the gypsy's kiss Sermon to us all Cathedral's dark abyss Summons her to fall Born in the bell tower Ringing only lies Despotic sacrament In the Vicar's eyes I roam the halls back-bent Silent, vacant room A lonely malcontent Ringing in his doom

We came from the ocean We saw though the sky We went through the motions Brave enough to spawn and die With our waking Born to die No escaping Born in caves that surface Dry and hungry spells Turning void of purpose Future never tells Promise making Born to lie No mistaking

You called us animals We found the right and used it Kingdom of cannibals It's fight or flight Our strife continues on We shared your ancestors You kept us caged like monsters Simian manifold It's fight or flight Our strife continues on You found the might in Your opposing thumbs But our battle's begun Just a step on the rung Thought you buried my brain All your efforts in vain But our battle's begun Now you're biting your tongue All the world is your stage Until you rattled my cage Now that your missing link was Found in the shackled chain Death to the noble savage Life to the spoils of Kane Prodigal Caesar rising Rolling in leaves of rage Swinging on vines you'll find him Locked in his human cage Dragging this out through centuries Paleolithic maze Caught in an endless circle Chased in a fossilled craze Corpus of ill-intention Oedipus bound in chains Bored of his new inventions Bankrupt for all his pains

Never coming down from the trees Never bending down on my knees Your attempt to shackle my brain Still afraid I'll put you to shame I'm up here walking on air It's like I'm not even there Never coming down from the trees Never bending down on my knees With bad intent you stand and you stare If I come down you'd better beware You're down there fighting for air From here you look pretty square Never coming down from the trees Never bending down on my knees You attempts to shackle my brain Only seem to add to my fame I'm up here swinging in time Survival's my only crime Never coming down from the trees Never bending down on my knees

Racing down the naked highway Three AM is coming my way Brother it's another shakedown Tank is down at less than zero Painted savage, nasty hero Brother it's another shakedown Mirrors breaking in the shower Hear them outside, feel their power Brother it's another shakedown Sirens moaning in the street They're kicking doors in, feel the heat Brother it's another shakedown

We wanted to stay, You cancelled the sun We hide underground And worship a gun White cousin - When will it end? The jungles we shared Are all in the past The all-seeing eye Is closing at last White cousin - When will it end? They come with pink eyes And lily-white skin They hide underground And burrow within White cousins - Albino slaves

As I turn water to wine Shackle the unholy swine You thought you'd captured my brain Animal spirits remain You found a cage for your prize Simian anger defies Atop your temple of sties Prodigal Caesar will rise As I turn water to wine Turning the trees to my shrine Tear down your temple of pain Prodigal Caesar will reign

Here in my sanctuary I will spin another kind of lie About a species out of time I ain't your plastic hero I won't be the victim of your crime You lost your hold upon the flame With no direction and no name And only ravaged by the slime I'll be your nasty hero And you're gonna pay for all my crimes Some people say You can only save yourself anyway Can you say my name? You'll only put your mind to shame
