In the dusk hour, they lay there shattered and broken Just like these words, yet theirs are unspoken May I write their songs and their poems Just so the people of the world will know them...
I. The Truth Of the World Can Be Seen In an Eye
...The dead, the living, and the unknown Look before you, the world is shown We're corrupted and don't welcome change For this is the world of stubborn and strange The lies are before you in different labeled doors Of "our" choices whether it's peace or war It's all propaganda, it's all spoken lies Only to be heard before Everyone dies So what is your decision, what is your choice We are the people that mus sound our voice To fight for what we All believe in And let the real freedom we want begin 'Cause this is how it shall end It'll be the end of you dear friend...
II. Dead Man's Ode To God
...I stood before the Lord I prayed, he opened the door Into internal damnation Of our own salvation
I stood before the Lord I gave my heart for the golden shore And thy sinful ways Brought even darker days
I stood before the Lord He was real, I was sure Then people lied, and people died And in the end, all did cry
So here I stand before the Lord Just a terrible ending I got for Playing, giving, until I die To find the idea of God is just a lie...
III. ...And There Will Be Guns and Whips
...Cry another tear Run from another fear They're coming tonight Scream if you see the white I don't want to be a slave Lord, can't we be saved From skin color discrimination In the new nation Where everyone's free Except for you, you, and me We shall toil in dirt In the cold, hard Earth Because they're too lazy to do it on their own Or maybe because they can't do it alone Why must we suffer for generations to come Because they can't see that we're all one So we shall die under the American sun In a nation that will never be one...
