Lyrics
Alive
They fed fear, ‘til angered appeared grasping at eternity’s breach.
Seeking sore hunger, she went out and hunted – defaming everything within reach.
Fire flamed from the corner of her eyes.
Bombers dropped tears of death from the sky.
We followed the King through lands of lies,
She’s down on her knees fighting to stay alive.
“It’s no over now. We can win it back somehow,”
the knight spewed through the fog in cold air.
“If we can stand, we can demand the winning hand to make the game fair.”
But they beat him and scorn him, defeat him to warn
That he who stands alone can never win.
And they tell him if he is wise, he’ll kneel to his knees to stay alive.
Preachers of sorrow preach for tomorrow – the end is always near.
The devil walks among us and talks, whispering rebellion into our ears.
They drove off together in a Mercedes Benzes, living life with high society friends.
They throw stones at sinners they despise- and say you’re lucky to be alive.
The prostitute cries alone, cold and stone. She screams it’s society’s fault.
She sees the light, returns to the night, locking herself into a vault.
The judge lets her loose to roam the street,
Finds her behind the courthouse where they meet.
Old man justice rapes her outside. Leaves her dyin’,
Wishing she hadn’t been born alive.
The we reveal the corporate veil; lifted, we see shame.
Where money is god and helplessly there’s fraud
And the CEO says it’s only a game.
Young children working as slaves over the sea
To fulfill the gluttons – babe, that’s you and me.
Tears fall silently from their beaten eyes.
They whisper, aren’t you happy to be alive.
2007
