Flame to the Moth

I long for the summer I long for the sun, gently touching my face I'll open my eyes, let it burn every splinter Unleash desert storms on its way to my heart And I had this coming every day of my life This is where I stop fighting, eyes open wide You took this blade and cut a wreck And in one blow laid bare your neck Where did we go wrong? I once had blue eyes, hungry and wise Now they are black from this dark age of lies We're all privatized, industrialized We capitalize on the beams in our eyes It's all in the eyes Eyes, tearing with sorrow Burning with anger and passion and lust The swift wind of thought Of wildness and laughter The soil of defiance The firm ground of trust (We had this coming, every day of our lives) (We should start fighting for eyes open wide) But I am put here, in this world gone insane Where everything's for sale From nature, over stars down to DNA Then I can gladly say That I'd be the first to break that norm Any day, any way And the last to join the ranks To hunt down the Daily Threat Or any other brand of prey You took this blade and cut a wreck And in one blow laid bare your neck Where did we go wrong? We once had blue eyes, probing the skies Now they are blackened from this modern life All privatized, industrialized, a failure Offensive and sore to the eye One small step for man Maybe this time I'll fly And if I hit the ground, it's the way we all die We are wrecks of the cut Soups of the season With dollar sign scars From this dark age of treason We all know how to cry Then we learn how to smile How to smile We're all telling the truth Tell us the truth! Then we learn how to lie And oh, how we lie Now we lie When you bow your heads tomorrow At the world we build today I want you to remember That I stood my ground and said no (say no) I said no, Say no! --- Flame to the Moth - Pain of Salvation
