Fear Fruit Bearing Tree
by Grayson Capps (Rott'n'Roll 2008)
There’s a storm a ragin’ across the land Kickin’ dirt and raisin’ sand ‘Cause we’ve yet to understand Destruction in the hands of babies
The vultures and the ravens form an entire nation Scared of confrontation Afraid of annihilation Caused by greed
Greed is a seed of a fear fruit bearing tree That bears plump ripe spheres of fear
Now did Eve give it to Adam or Adam give it to Eve Or was it the relationship That caused the need for something more
Well they bit then And we all bite now Because we're constantly taught how And we are now the seeds of a fear fruit bearing tree
The disease is in the ease With which we run from the truth in search of comfort Saying, "Money is God!"
But it ain't money, honey How many times must it be said? Though blood runs blue, You still think it’s red, Because that’s how it appears when it hits oxygen.
Our life is an illusion, And we create the confusion, So take a dose of seclusion To dilute the delusion. And hope that it’s not in vein
That we look into the spheres of the fear fruit bearing tree Before we eat Again
