the world
is going to hell         

     and we're in the cheap seats

               every step we take
               takes us closer
               to the grave

 

               i t ' s   a l l   t e r m i n a l
               

                                    and I'm sure
               
                    I ' m   G o n n a   d i e

 

                    the day before they find
                             the cure for death

 

              W h a t   n o w    ?

              the gods
              have all
              gone
                                and
       
                           there's
                          no-one
                   to worship


 I n   a   w i l d e r n e s s   o f   m i r r o r s


              solitude an illusion

                                 no one
                             is coming
                            to save us

 

                            w e   a r e  .  .

 

                                      the leaders
                                   the liberators
                           the revolutionaries

                  our ancestors prayed for

 

                                we are our own

 

                           S A L V A T I O N  .  .

 

                                                 Peace
                         ain't always peaceful

                         Violence grows
                          between the seams
                                      of discontent

 

                                  Different mask
                                  same face

                                  Different hunt
                                    same chase

                                   Different cause
                                   same case

                                  Different flava
                                      same taste

                                  Different skin
                                      same race
                 
    

D i f f e r e n t   C i r c u m s t a n c e
                                S a m e   F a t e

 

                               One's entire life

                            

    compressed into one final breath

 

                                    e x h a l e d  .  .

                              

                                         t h e n:

 

                                        lke magic
                                     you're gone

 

          y o u    n e v e r   e x i s t e d  .  .
 

                      the only evidence
                      that premisses
                      one was here

                      are the footprints

                                    m a d e

                                 on ground
                         once walked on


               t h e   r e a p e r   c o m e s

 
                               and again

                                 we still

                                    ain't

                                 r e a d y

The inevitability is that the reaper comes if you're ready or not. For liberation to come, you need to be ready to ensure that it does. ONE. PEACE AND LOVE.
