The things you see, the words you hear
On the news channels or news papers
The things you see, the words you hear
From the mouths of people, you know to be treacherous...


SHAKEN

Still in the moonlight, alike in the sun
A new low we've found, the day's just begun

When the world seems to be
A better place for the free
The one free from this depraved
Society

And we discover the feelings of pride
Of ego trumping logic - outside and inside
The motions of caring, for people around
Defeat the notions laid down, to lead our lives

Freedom divides us, corruption unites
Prosperity kills us, suffering revives
Torture and terror are water for us
Don't want to play with fire of peace

A strange joy of strangulation
Of trust, of love and devotion
Superior is the brain which can
Digest the abuse of an honest man

Please don't part away from this
Precious gift of life on Earth
Please don't leave your noble ways
For a guy whose words are all absurd
Please don't denounce your lifestyle rules
Which are all so 'human' today
The only request I'm here to make
Is leave me alone, take my things away

To hunt for a world of logic and passion
Bejeweled by gems of love and compassion
