Because it seemed appropriate
Again there was no warning As huddled in our shell We turned our eyes towards the skies To take the fear away. Those we trust and those we hate Though ill-will we have none Move us left and move us right To pass the time away. Fires burn within us As fierce as those without For futures stolen from us And childhood stole away. Your barren desert trophy Reward for what you sow The rape of all your greed can see Can't take our hope away.
