Another night filled with ash and snow An old man next to a fire with no home Yet he sits still singing alone Hoping for others to throw him a bone
Oh young ones wouldn’t you care to listen Listen to an old man's advice To some I’m known as leviathan Although those people probably aren’t alive
But sit around my fire now I’ll give you some wasteland advice On what your deeds can sow If your willing to pay the price
Money, power, love, revenge, tradition They all mean the same really Bunch of people with a mind that’s troubled Bringing up old ideas with a thought of reinvoking
“We will build out of the ashes of the old” “A new world meant for the survivors” “Old masters destroyed because we weren’t meant to obey” “WE ARE NO LONGER THE SLAVES BUT THE OWNERS”
Such lies are shouted often and loud Good intentions no doubt But to bring peace and order, blood must be shed Hopes of being the hero must be doused
In the wasteland your supposed to become more Yet we’re shackled to the past Leaders promising they have the key to a locked door Vowing that to **** the old you must sign the pact
Industries of sin run on blood and dust Shiny lights counting down to a payout Behind smoke and mirrors you find lust All of this guarded by puppets pulled by a payroll
So young ones, what will you do Denounce the past and try to be greater Embrace sin and forsake moral duty In the end you will die with no gravestone
But that’s just what I have to say I’m only an old man with no home Maybe we will meet another day On that day I will judge your sins
This probably ***** like everything else I have written
