Flame to the Moth

Flame to the Moth - Pain of Salvation

I long for the summer

I long for the sun gently touching my face

I'll open my eyes let it burn every splinter

Unleash desert storms on its way to my heart

I had this coming every day of my life

This is where I stop fighting eyes open wide

I once had blue eyes hungry and wise

Now they are black from this dark age of lies

We're all privatized industrialized

We capitalize on the beams in our eyes

It's all in the eyes

Eyes tearing with sorrow

Burning with anger and passion and lust

The swift wind of thought

Of wildness and laughter

The soil of defiance

The firm ground of trust

But I am put here in this world gone insane

Where everything's for sale

From nature over stars down to dna

Then I can gladly say

That I'd be the first to break that norm

Any day any way

And the last to join the ranks

To hunt down the daily threat

Or any other brand of prey

We once had blue eyes probing the skies

Now they are blackened from this modern life

All privatized industrialized a failure

Offensive and sore to the eye

From this dark age of treason

We all know how to cry

Then we learn how to smile

How to smile

We're all telling the truth

Tell us the truth

Then we learn how to lie

And oh how we lie

How we lie

When you bow your heads tomorrow

At the world we build today

I want you to remember

That I stood my ground and said no say no

I said no

Say no

I said no

Say no

I said no

Say no

Say no

Say no
