MUSIC FOR SALE

Verse 1
There are now two ways to live, two ways to die
I'm only worth your attention if I'm worthy of a smile
In spite of my voice box, now a relic, meant to catch dust
Maybe I'll just bat my eyes, I guess it's enough
When the eyes tell you stories, though you won't bother to read
Eating from the hand that waves, but not the one that feeds
Go and strip me for spare parts, the choice is all yours
For you were the ones who wrote all the laws

Verse 2
Laws of attraction and suppression of mind
No books can we read, no resolve can we find
For every man is a hero, and every woman, a mother
All for the order and the demand of our dearest big brother
So for him, we'll bear the fruit, sign our lives away
And maybe you'll meet us again
Someday, to meet you at the end of this interlude
Will you be different by then? Will you have learnt the truth?

Verse 3
The truth is that energy fades, but it's force cannot hide
Something must grow from what has just died
And you'll burn us to ashes, we'll materialise into
Entities you were told as children were lies
But the truth is that we're real and not so sweet and nice
Because we're equally made up of fire and ice
And we'll follow your scent to the end of the Earth
Because it's rage and destruction that we will birth

Verse 4
And birth leads to death, and then back again
And it'll go on forever, but you'll see there's no end
When the ghosts that you made will come back to life
To stand side by side, sharing the strife
An endless barrage of your little sisters waiting in place
Too many to flee, too little too late
So we'll swoop down with our wings and attack with our claws
Just don't act surprised when this choice was all yours
