[Intro – voice samples]

In the beginning

Was the word

Strange bird calls in a gently echoing space

Hey!

[Verse 1 – Deca]

Let’s dig until we hit the bedrock

Life is but a dream, a way station to the next stop

Less talk, more direct shots to your breadbox

While despots turn the third rock into a sweatshop

We need room to breathe, sustenance for the soul

See the forest for the trees, feel the planets push and pull

A few took a step and shook the globe

Somewhere off thе crooked road facin’ tribulations out the Book of Job

The aim’s to clip cast a nеt strings attached

Hell’s bells toll when you let your dreams lapse

On the quest for greenbacks where kings clash

Set the scene, think fast

Catch a flash of light and let the ink splash

Here we are passed the point of no return

Nerves frayed, shocked watchin’ while the world slowly burns

The flesh turns to compost to ashes in an urn

Flowers for the fallen, food to feed the maggots and the worms

[Chorus – Deca]

Pause and reflect

Jolted out of sleep with death’s claws on my neck

There’s tattered rags waving in the dawn’s early light

And swine pointing pistols at a song bird in flight

The empire’s unhinged, the eagle’s all bones

And wolves guard the global henhouse we call home

Their mind’s eye closed as their power drive grew

But they’ll never sap the essence from a flower like you

[Verse 2 – Deca]

Once upon a sci-fi plot

Shocked by the prospect of lying in a pine box we saw the sky drop

The latest pretext to peek inside of my thoughts and treat the huddled masses like livestock

A wasteland of group thought

And countless psyops where pryin’ eyes watch

And use fear to clear the styes and the blindspots

Red and blue association games

Machiavellian methods and tools to short circuit the able brain

We wake up for a sec they rock us back to sleep

Quantify our habits feed the data to the beast

Pull strings, turn the public square into a circus

And salt psychic wounds that fester beneath the surface

It’s all going smooth as tumbled stone

Place one in the slingshot and aim it at Goliath in the Thunderdome

Troubadour taught to place faith in love alone

Blood and bone

Driven from the land of milk and honeycomb

[Chorus – Deca]

Pause and reflect

Jolted out of sleep with death’s claws on my neck

There’s tattered rags waving in the dawn’s early light

And swine pointing pistols at a song bird in flight

The empire’s unhinged, the eagle’s all bones

And wolves guard the global henhouse we call home

Their mind’s eye closed as their power drive grew

But they’ll never sap the essence from a flower like you

[Outro – voice samples]

The fledglings begin to exercise their well-feathered wings

By the time they can fly they will be able to feed from flowers
