where the footsteps of one culture tread
the righteous still sing
as we march to the tune of "humanity's" hymn

a restless night awaits the dawn of a silent spring
our mythos and this way of life
have led us astray - disconnected

we've stepped outside the circle and into the reign

for they so loathe the world

children search for heavenly bliss
and abandon this sacred earth
damnation - the chance I am willing to take

for life everlasting I return to the womb

day by day - from birth

page by page - the script we enact
to an unsound story of conquest and glory
by a culture about to collapse

blood flows from the fountains
of bondage and brutality
(this captive earth to flood)


as one whom the mother caresseth
so will I comfort you


through every waking moment
the pleading whispers of mother culture

are spoken softly in my ears
begging me to turn my back
instead I shun her lies

with the truth of a newfound worldview
I'm deaf to salvati on's cry


for they so loathe the world
children search for heavenly bliss
and abandon this sacred earth

damnation - the chance I am willing to take
for life everlasting I return to the womb


my blood for her blood, my breath for her breath
back into her arms, to the place we belong
mother culture reborn and I again to the earth

to break the chains, to give freedom a name
and put the life back in living
