| FERTILE
FIELDS
sometimes those simple things won't turn the trick no more and our self-important dreams they all lie shattered on the floor even the proletariat receives his royalty and as the battle rages on and on i wish it wasn't me and it seems so cruel the last one breaking up until the winter finds it's worth as we glide upon the earth now the trees are swept aside by wind and sheets of rain and the fertile fields once gilded have now withered and refrained she who longs for comfort feels instead a savage thrust and the ashen sky grows ever darker as dawn gives way to dust as we set our dogs upon the earth feast on the dead until no life remains forward towards a pointless end we squander never gain
i'd set myself on fire i'd sacrifice desire it will be great don't get me wrong we can forget it won't be long i can't hold mysetf tear this heart away just a moment then it's gone insignificant contrary to suggestion i've answered way too many questions i feel that chill run dawn my back all systems go i can't relax
a nation in silence too frightened to run the secret police got you under the gun at the hint of dissension there's a mark by your name now you're never alone just a pawn in the game call it state control destroy your mind you think you're safe boy you're out of time we're all slaves to subversion a trick of the trade the ones in control are the ones getting paid they're stealing your spirit and breaking your will with polarized violence they'll train you to kill
friday night she's not alone i wonder who's going to drive her home and walk her to the door and will she give him a good night kiss monday at schoot she says hello i fight the tears as i watch her go she'll never know what she means to this lonely boy if you'd only take a walk with me just give me some time and you might see i could be your hero if you'd let me in you can't deny what's in your heart and you know i'm trying to be a part you can do better than those other boys
don't be alarmed please don't take it personally but you're acting out on everybody here you're ability your virility's in doubt so one more time you clench your fists scream and shout you high-five your friends like you're jocks at a football it seems you don't know when to quit the crowd stares in silence as you practice violence to show you're the king of the pit what now we're sick of it so now no one goes to the front at shows anyrnore bqcause we don't want to be kicked in the head or punched in the nose we don't care where you're from we don't care what set you claim why don't you get involved you don't even know our names any scene worth it's salt would vilify aggression it seems that aggression's all you know so stop throwing your fists put out your hand participate in the show here we go
i'm so alone in the darkest place i know i'm a prisoner in my mind and i'm searching for that light and the faith i left behind i've tried so hard to look you in the eye time has never been a friend and once again i've been betrayed by the weight of what i know and the choices that i've made you stood so tall and i've watched you fall looking on the bright side i've known some peace cried on the shoulders of better men than me it's going to take a lifetime to wash away if i want to stay clean i've got to start today
out of my embrace lipstick on a stranger's face do you take him to the cliffs to watch the sun go down now he's sitting on your bed what's going through his head as you show him pictures the same ones you showed to me you can't be happy not with him he's not the one he's going to break your heart you can't be happy not with him you know he's not the one and can he do the things i'd do for you sometimes i lie awake at night and clutch my pillow and i wonder if you're lying next to him tonight soft words & promises and i wonder what he says listening to clean sheets that used to be our song great songs they used to be but now they just poison me could you please not play that song now it's wrenching at my heart it's tearing me apart
have we really lost our way i heard the people talking but i can't believe the things they say seems like a million days since we chose a new direction tried to find the strength to change do you remember when 500 stood as one and reached for the sky our pride was understood friendship & brother (sister) hood gave us the courage to try sometimes it's such a lonely road despair is everywhere so much anger to unload but i'll fight with every breath in my heart i still believe we can make a difference somehow
who will be their voice who will hear their cries the ones who cannot speak as we dehumanize incarcerated innocents their sentience ignored slaughtered by the millions for the pseudo-carnivores what a waste of our time of our land of our humanity blood-spattered carcass it wets your appetite don't you fucking get it eating flesh it isn't right for you for me our children the world destroy their machines burn their staughterhouses to the ground now it's time for us all to defend the oppressed meat is murder still we consume the dead and rotting products of violence we've got to make that change for me our children the world
she called me up all excited said she had a date with him saturday night and she just can't wait i thought about his reputation & the things that he's done i woutdnt wish him on anyone i said to her when you're with him better watch your step because i know this boy he's got a pretty bad rep i only hope he doesn t end up bringing you down he's been breaking hearts all over town slowly you can pick yourself back up when that situation's got you down again slowly you can pick your self back ap girl you've got to save it for another day because you don't need him anyway it's just a game they play i know this won't come easy girl i know that it's hard and deep down inside it leaves an awful scar and to say i told you so won't help to ease the pain inside you so just remember that there's plenty of boys out there who could treat you much better and remember i care it just won't do to see you hurting so bad i knew that boy was going to leave you sad
there are some things i can't appreciate and when they're gone i won't deliberate without heart we'll never make it work accusing the world but you're playing the game scream 'till it hurts but it's always the same wake up in a fog can't remember my name there are those who pin their faults on me don't give a fuck about sincerity i've said enough but when it all comes down don't try to tell me that it makes no difference don't place conditions on what's inside our similarities are torn apart by pride and it seems like everything's coming down on me and i can't tell right from wrong fate from tragedy i've got to find that fire that defined me once so well there's so much talk so many empty lines i see no reason for their selfish lies without the anger resistance can't break these chains
i've thought it through & i think you're right and you're not missing much there's something pure that you can't hold against a simple touch so many choices and the pressure we all bring to bear your strength works miracles and touches those who try to care i believe in you and i hope you see it through your resolve is inspiration in my life it takes alot now so few who feel the same when it means enough not to give it away now finding it hard not to think in terms of yesterday finding it strange that somebody else could feel that way it must be hard sometimes to stand behind your chastity and i wish that i could be the one but it's not me i'll never set you free hold on because you've got alot to believe in
remember when i saw you sitting on the rocks yeah i didn't want to find out that there was nothing to do out here with you so cold we're going to catch the flu got the keys to your car everything's so good so far so do you ever smite and will you stay awhile with me it's been about a week now it feels like a lifetime ago have i begun to bore you could you at least drop me off at the show
i remember the day that we met i needed someone, you needed someone too, yeah spend time takin' all you could get givin' yourself was one thing you never could do you played with my heart, played with my head i got to laugh when i think of the things you said 'cause i stole your love, stole your love ain't never gonna let you go i, oh yeah, stole your love, i stole your love stole your love, i stole your love you never stop runnin' around you pick me up, then you could still put me down you were the girl that nobody could own stay for a while, then you would leave me alone i'm somethin' different, ain't like the rest how does it feel to find out you're failin' your test
years from now will this mean everything or just another song we used to sing when our common goals seemed crystal clear in those angry days we were so sincere now i look back in my mind have we wasted all this time i can't forget the past it seems like those days went by too fast now what we've shared it's gone somehow will it matter years from now once were friends have we grown apart i cant find the words to say what's right years from now will we still take pride in the things we've shared and the strength inside when i took at you will i see a friend did we make the most of the time we've spent |
