Flood Now that the dream is dead now that the game is lost now that the tide has turned into a flood and hopes have sunken in the mud, tears of tired surrender mix with blood, and everything you’ve ever had or hoped to be is gone, it’s washed away in a flood What are you gonna do now? what are you gonna do now? what are you gonna do? there is no magic that will save you, but there are no gods to enslave you and you have the power to create new, all you dreamed that never came true, when all at once you believe in you

The Color of Blue The color of blue the color of the sky the color of freedom the color of new the color of true the color of you Drenched in all the colors of this life it’s the horizon, that’s always been blue now it seems the tones have bled to gray and the horizon is an ominous shade of new The colors of our hopes change day to day for everything that we hold can fade away and every stone of injustice thrown our way leaves a wall of resistance in its stay

Catastrophe If the world was made for man and man was made to rule it why is this river flowing toward catastrophe? and if God is in the sky and the universe revolves around us why is this vision leading us toward catastrophe? Can somebody tell me why we look up to the sky, to the angels, to the prophets, to the spacemen, to the spirits of the dead, to some sacred ancient myths, just so we can figure out how to live

Watching the World We can’t stop until we’ve drained every drop of oil though the air keeps getting warmer, the sea’s have yet to boil every single beast we slaughter, so that every human’s fed extinct is life’s diversity and we’ll follow where they’ve led And the strong keep getting stronger on the backs of all the meek and the weapons of enforcement are more potent by the week so, you better watch your step, if you’re one of those who speaks you must be a terrorist or traitor, you’re out of line, your future’s bleak Watching the world go to hell watching the world go to hell maybe it’s just the truth that’s pushed all truth into the well (maybe it’s just the bleakness of this dark and hopeless cell) (maybe it’s just bitterness, I’m sick of heart as well) (I’m weak, but breathing, as far as I can tell, watching my life, oh well) that leaves me, watching the world go to hell Profoundly human faith in stories scribbled down in bygone lands simply as a tool to rule the tribes of early man are reasons now to kill and die and defend with all our swords for these are the words of god passed down to lead the human hoards We’ve got these people making laws bought by ignorance and greed yet we still elect them and pay them for their deeds we keep giving up our rights because we fear what we don’t know and it’s better to give up freedom then to let, dissension grow We idolize the pretty idiots they put onto the screen and put to work our brightest minds building military machines, defending all that we create and own by threatening to destroy, we are merely highly evolved gorillas brandishing dangerous toys But, there’s a plague that’s coming, it’ll take us all immune to killer pills, invading humans, great and small but harsh laws can’t clamp down on a rogue disease and lazer guided weapons will do nothing to appease the cells Ever hopeful, ever youthful, suddenly older and headed for old the greyness and the illness loudly beckon from the cold I know without the clock, the time is now to rectify and I can feel the wind, taste the breeze and hear the time fly

Old Man in the Sky The old man in the sky doesn’t live there anymore it seems it’s all a lie to keep us humble and poor, to make us think we’re always missing something more the old man justifies our culture at the expense of evermore Relentless destruction and mindless encroachment and the population soars ‘til the earth says I am sick, I am poor I can’t take this one day more and the old man in the sky doesn’t live there anymore the old man in the sky doesn’t live there anymore

Meaning Comes To Life Beaten, but not beat this journey’s incomplete from the cold I reach for heat this man and destiny will meet endless searching in the night for the sight of the light Then the meaning comes to life the meaning comes to life Worn out in the mire waiting to catch fire desperate and tired when darkness becomes light and day replaces night blindness becomes sight

Everything’s Gonna Be Alright Well it seems to me the more I see the more I believe the program they feed us is full of deceit, disinfo and lies and in order to be free we must believe that everything we read and everything we see is ours to do with however we decide Everything’s gonna be alright if we stand up everything’s gonna be alright It seems to me all we ever control is our path through life with our hearts and souls for all else becomes outside our reach and sight and furthermore it’s short and cruel and cold unfair and dark, from young to old the best you can do is stand up for what’s right Well I won’t let you take my freedom for a ride and I won’t sit by and watch you steal everything in sight and there’s an army of will and shoulders of truth by my side And everything’s gonna be alright

Then It’s Gone Clean air’s leaving, glacier’s are leaving, then they’re gone today is heaving, the future’s leaving, then it’s gone resources are leaving, plundering and beating, all along Freedom’s leaving, choice is leaving, then it’s gone promise is leaving, hope is leaving, then it’s gone belief is leaving, lies and deceiving, then it’s gone Our dominion over all things is illusion soon it will be gone Fascism’s seething, justice is leaving, then it’s gone police state’s breeding, liberty’s barely breathing, then it’s gone sheep are bleating, the earth is bleeding, then it’s gone All that we’ve hoped for all that we’ve dreamed of is false and farce and forged from lies we can no longer sustain this we can no longer retain this for the earth and the people of earth can no longer remain this way this way is gone
