38TH PARALLEL lyrics : "Wither"

Forward he marches through scornful laughter
Undaunted eyes set on hopes of here after
A gauntlet of piercing stares line his way

And condemning glares say all hate can say
As he strides ever on steps
In time with his hearts rhythm and rhyme

to the end of his day
Forevers seductive smile shatters sense
And bids him acquiesce from this solitary life


Chorus
But we don’t see,

we’ve made ourselves blind
And we don’t care,
we’ve closed our minds

And we don’t move,
we’re so paralyzed


As we sit in heartlessness watching him die
Dead to immunity,
dead to society

Fearing the slow decay of dignity the posterchild
For walking deadmen longs for the now
to be way back when


Chorus


And I see him everyday along his road
Fading away manifest in the downcast,
Recluse and outcast lepers of this age

The innocent incaged by paranoid,
misinformed minds
Enter the champions of love (so called) singing loud

Grinning as they spit out their words
So proud are the hearts unmoved by songs and ideals?
Wading through the rhetoric to clutch something real


Chorus
