Centuries of blood bow your head and weep What seeds have been sown in genocides heart Soot and grime weigh down lives Lived in fear under an empty sky Boundless with out the lie of a god Who put us on this earth to suffer Never doubt that we are alone The universe is cold and does not care So live your life free and without guilt There is no vengeful god for you to fear If we are not enslaved to some figment of our minds We gladly chain ourselves to some flag our great ideal Such limitations bind constrict and crush the life away We could have been so much instead We chose to bow down and fail Fade away where we belong Nothing will change the world remains the same Everything you dreamed Would come instead a dream remains And no more can we tolerate this structure Forced upon us by another’s fate We will pass into the dark And none shall mourn this unmarked grave In shallow earth our achievements rot With none but the stars as witness On mute epitaph if only you could sing What songs would you weave Of all that could have been What tragedy and glory sacrifice and salvation None of this will come to pass Now our race bows low with shame All our works will be as dust
