Landmines

I know why I'm here now

See the signs

Let my own fate find me

Stars aligned

To blink is to miss our chance at the world

Mankind an abyss, into which we might fall

And so on and on, on and on we toil

Our fantasies collide, leading us to spoil

All our plans are foiled

Searching for the promised land

But my feet stuck in the sand

No surrender, can't withdraw

Relief appears upon my sword

Should I fall upon my sword?

And I can't control the weather, so let it rain on me now

All these years I've held together, are starting to bring me down

As we rise up, I must fall

Time and again I must fight for the cause

Lines stretch and they tear

Will I be overthrown?

And I can't control the weather, so let it rain on me now

All these years I've held together, are starting to bring me down

As we rise up, I must fall

The fickle symphony is calling out again, I crow

This muted melody is falling on deaf ears now

Landmines reside under the path that I'm consigned

Will I come undone?

Thorn vines entwined around the neck to foil my cries

Silent in this war

And I'll be sober now, there's no four leaf clover

Can't see through windows made of gold

So un-blind

The fickle symphony is calling out again, I crow

This muted melody, the call for clemency's vetoed

The writings on the wall, it's time for me to fall, let go

The fable we were fed, the pathway only led, to finding this fool's gold

Don't know why I'm here now

See false signs

Fate will never find me

Stars maligned

I don't know why
