Power; naked in the dying light

Hours disappearing in the dark of night

And I hear laughter in another room

As a bride lays with her groom

Some kind of vicious daydream

Like Venom dripping from the jetstream

And humans as fragile as the dawn

Sing a requiem

Don’t tell me everything’s alright

You’re streaming poison while we sleep at night

Don’t tell me that there ain’t no cure

You’re killin’ off the sick and the old and poor

Everybody’s out to take control

But I won’t go; no I won’t go anymore

A revelation of chemistry and sky

Precipitations and empty battle cries

And years race without an answer

And we face violent cancers

And voices are broken in the requiem

Don’t tell me everything’s alright

I see your poison in the sky tonight

Don’t tell me that there ain’t no cure

You profit off the sick and the old and poor

Everybody’s out to take control

But I won’t go; no I won’t go anymore

The will to power serves only the chosen who invoke it

Just as hunger baits the wolf but only innocence provokes it

Just beyond the secret prison and the hidden iron veil

You can see the past re-written as the setting sun

Illuminates the trails

Don’t tell me everything’s alright

I see your poison in the sky tonight

Don’t tell me that there ain’t no cure

You’re victims are the sick and the old and poor

Everybody’s out to take control

But I won’t go; no I won’t go anymore
