lyrics

A glorious morning,
The sky is bright and blue.
I enjoy my life much more than you.
Power joogle - pogger violence…
On a journey to parts unknown,
Thirsting spirits, free to roam,
Still searching…
On a quest with all our friends,
To live our lives and hope it never ends,
It stops when we stop - children of the grain.
Reaching the peak is what we seek,
Empty the glass, may it come to pass,
Gasping for breath as you fall - down.
What has become has become.
No Gods smile.
The black grasp takes all.

It started out as the perfect thing,
We were lit up and bright,
Now it dominates every single day,
With endless quarrels and fights.
Consumed by greed…
Blind madness,
Drunk and fractious.
That which once set me free -
Now a lock with no key.
Ose, Pruflas, Mammon - we are yours…
What has become of us?
What have we become?
Sick, broke, ill-tempered,
Still not satisfied.
