lyrics

Seek no release nor relief
shower me in ten thousand soldiers mothers grief
keep those darker parts fed
natures withered pride cannot raise the dead

chorus 1:
myriad directions
with no destination
on the path we pass
rows of bodies still as glass
myriad directions
with no destination
on the path we pass
rows of bodies still as glass

stone cold faces without feeling
ignorant of hearing
echoes in the distance
of forgotten rapture
frail ghosts of weary slaves
pave the way onto their graves
in the end they've nothing left
nothing left to gain but pain...

chorus 2:
...in the explaitation
of third world nations
raising funds for government vactions

slave confined to your cage
for which now you must pay
to waste your life away
for the profits of the chosen few
the apple has been eaten
you've had your share; your fill
your once solid pride now beaten

(repeat chorus 1) ...glass

lost in the transitory light
your sun is now descending
liberty a useless gift
to those unawakened by reason
lost in the transitory light
your sun is now descending
liberty a useless gift
