Lyrics
The Ego's Last Stand
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's heavier now
Once you see their faces
Oh, they're just like us
It's heavier once
You stand in their places
Oh, the ego is crushed
The only way out
Is destroy all traces
Oh, destroying yourself
There's no way back
It's complete devastation
Oh, there's no way out
No way out
How can you still believe
What you believe
There's no way out
How can you believe
What you still believe
The red worm is calm
The dawn's shadow changes
Oh, the sparrow looks up
Red spots on the sun
Is there evil in nature
Oh, the eagle's spread claw
An invisible cloud
Makes invisible changes
Oh, the ant takes the crumb
A man holds a gun
There's no explanation
Oh, he shoots at the sun
