We ate our young and never blinked an eye We carved the subway tunnels and prayed to snipers in the sky We practiced medicine without knowing how to heal We killed ourselves in dreams a thousand times, always believing it was real We gave birth silently to jargon, metal, smoke And mirrors that we kissed until they clouded up and broke We fed a starving child with an apple's knowing taste Denying til her dying tears the poison with which it had been laced So father kill your daughter Mother kill your son Swallow up the universe Til all the killing's done It happens when you slumber It happens unaware Out of every human eye A hundred generations stare If you lose your eyes you will see And if you lose your faith you will believe If you lose your blood no more will you bleed And if you lose all your desires, nevermore will you need If you lose you light you will glow And if you lose your mind you will know If you lose your youth no more will you grow And if you learn to stand your ground, there'll be nowhere left to go Come here to mend What's come before will come again From Letras Mania
