Beyond the Dream

i
We bore the ragged flags of our fathers, prayed for the past to be honored
In the killing fields where little lambs are dragged to the slaughter
Gasping in water, under the burden of a distant lands mythology
- Sodden, coughing for oxygen - to reach a higher caste for our daughters
We can whisper to her until we drown in reality - a cheap casket of dollars
Lady liberty keeps counting the casualties - find your place in history
In this dystopian squalor, post-draconian models of economy squabbles
Leave us listless, praying for victory - slowly building a legacy
For our sons until we fade to infinity

ii
The neon beckoning - the fabulous sovereign sex
Freedom's reckoning is a list of canonical deaths
Eyes glossed, rollicking applause for the icons we respect
Those untouchable smiles that orbit the populace
Leave us speaking of change but performing the opposite
Gorgeous and confident - eclipsing the flaming tragedy
Subtle whispers of corruption drowned in famous rhapsody
Hidden in a craters cavity - are gaudy golden meccas
Built out of our blood and our tears and our stolen sweat
Swiped from beneath our slackjawed stare and our corroding chest
We're frozen, content with the methods with which they're exacting control
Just pop the popcorn, light the j, pass the remote...

iii
By apathy or tragedy - we're all just drones in the madness
Babylon could never place soldiers to factions, and if we could
We'd be sure to trapped in a zirconium labyrinth
Stopped dead in our tracks on the path to some petroleum palace
Patrolled by a complex of profit on the war on the poor
Our destiny's cracked and left broken on the exorbitant floor
Our future ruthless pawned by the Gods in Louis Vuitton
Any sense of unity gone - we share a flag not a mission
Old ideologies have been drastically wizened - replaced by
more sinister sects & revolution is some old word in some old history text

We the people scratching at the walls of the abyss
Struggling underneath something that's impossible to lift
We the people blindly laughing, storing drugs in our armatures
Completely oblivious to the deadly hum of the harbinger
