Fertile crescent of fire and earthTraded for knowledge, what was it worth? Yesterday's desires are stronger today.We eat our fill but hungry we stay. Like the hips of the snake emptiedI am of reasons to dance on my lover's like sand that slips through my fingers without a traceThat something sacred slept in this place Steep the last steps from nature to manThe altar, the fiddle, and a little girl's dance She moves through the hills and sings to the night Of Eden and serpents and dizzying heightsEach morning she wakens and knows she won't endA new creature rises against one that descendsWe're on our own again, my friendThe vanguard's been derailedthey'll hang me next to you, my friendAs they follow in our trailToo late we see the broken heartIs the seed of the broken stateRemember me in paradiseTell them I couldn't waitFour rivers flow past the beaks and the jawsSongtexteAnarchy, Judgment, Mercy, and Law New cities rise upon history's dustCultures revolve between wonder and lust Guillotine blades release peasants and slavesPeasants turn princes and chain them againThe rivers flow on, they join and they growMixing life and death into all that we knowA future's on its way, my friendWhere hate will be like gills Gills that cannot breathe, my friendIn sharp air of the hills. We saw so clear the rights of allThe path was the mistake. The vanguard is forgivenessThe light for which we ache. Aus Songtexte Mania
