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
