Ancient gods have said to me this is the end of vanity A child's voice is free to say it doesn't have to end this way Whispers from an ancient dream when gods and men Would intervene and change the course of all we've known And kick our leaders from control They've plugged us in and they sold our minds And they held us here and destroyed our kind And it's been this way forever since the dawn of time Look now at the monsters we've become For all we are we and all we've seen the paradise Turned obscene an evil blight has claimed this earth And paralyzed our rebirth They've held us back and installed their god They've held us here and while they numbed our kind It's been this way forever since the dawn of time They've plugged us in and destroyed our minds While they held us here and erased our kind Its been this way forever since the dawn of time They've hooked us up and erased our lives They left us here and they watch us die And it will stay this way forever til everyone has died Ages pass pages bleed the truth of our insanity We led our lives down the gluttons road And let our leaders take control Of all we are and all we've seen the paradise Turned obscene an evil blight has claimed this earth And paralyzed our rebirth Behold the pages said to me this is the age of hypocrisy Visions burn to change all things the truth about our human dreams A child's poem is what we've lost we carry on despite the cost Revolution's begun felt in the hearts and the minds in mouth and thoughts of the masses Evolution's begun felt in the lives in the eyes and heart of the masses Revolution's begun felt in the hearts and the minds in mouth and the thoughts of the masses Evolution's begun felt in the hearts and the minds in the laws of the passive Staring out into this abyss, tell me you never loved anyone more Holding on to times that went amiss tell me you never loved anyone more Tell me you never loved anyone more Staring into this abyss tell me you never loved anyone more
