lyrics

For every bending knee, echoing: “Work will set you free.”
Living beneath anchored thumbs of suited gods,
Crushed in their clasping palm – squeezing, wringing, unrelenting
Behold the stretches of earth that ape has wrought!

Reveries of upheaval, fleeing from pain
Obscurities of custom, singing monoculture’s name
An icon of filth, casting shade where pedestals intrude –
Wholeness flowering in a sky beyond our grasp

For every bending knee, echoing: “Work will set you free.”
Living beneath anchored thumbs of suited gods,
Crushed in their clasping palm – squeezing, wringing, unrelenting
Behold the stretches of earth that ape has wrought!

No wound too deep, no life too short
No bridge too far – dissolve, dissolve, dissolve

Becoming the wild bloom – like roots twisting through concrete
Succession of masters, bent into lateral humility
An endless weave, the retiring of millennial walls
That if we lose love, the very same can one day be regained.
