End The Reign

In the darkness, I have found my vision I`ve seen the Queen that thrives on desolation A Queendom that preys on both young and old Open your eyes... A pain is growing that mocks all the true healers The light of wisdom is making us all turn cold Those who dare to dream can hold no quarter Open your eyes... Apathy in Babylon Dreams have been deferred so long Those who dwell in misery Ne`re receive my empathy `No one cares for anyone The chorus to her fatal song This woman spites everyone This woman is man... End the reign! I have passion, I have faith and reason Yet she decrees I am less than human (The darkness hides within the light...) But it`s my soul that satisfies her hunger (The evil`s always in your sight...) Open your eyes... When the pretense starts to fall The `prefects` make their margin call Will you join the ranks of sheep That will not a soul to keep Their premise is intelligence Profaned by human arrogance If you stand against it all... Make the bastards fall... End the reign! In the world that you perceive Who are your true enemies ? Is it those you do not know... Or the ones you can`t control Does joy excite every nerve From the `Mistress` that you serve Do you have the strength at all To heed the final call End the reign! --- End the Reign - Fishbone
