Underneath

Burn the hopes of every dreamer Tell them to fall into line Murder those that do not listen And tell your child that this is fine One name underneath your banner Written on the prison key Power like fluorescent anger Your god spreads far across the sea Decorations of what bought you Painted on your every word But right below the velvet canvas Stands a child that goes unheard Wisdom favours every reason To step unto yourself So gather faith and find decision Step into the world The end of thoughts that bleed us empty The only true way that we die And without time we’ll see a vision The infinite that sits inside
