Lyrics
Modern Slave
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.
Let me escape this chronic feeling sinking into me
When I'm gazing at the black empty skies
Bring me closer to the firmament’s light
And just don't let me come down
Don't let me come down
Take me away far from what eyes can see
Before my reveries come to an end
Don't wanna be a modern slave
Of this wall-less prison
I’ve seen enough of the man-made hell
Masking the horizon
Don't bring me back to the ground
Life looks better up here
Far from the noises of the world
(Far from the hell on the ground)
Don't bring me back down
(Let me get far away from, far away)
Far from the hell on the ground
Show me there's something more than (something more)
These open graveyards of metal
Take me away from this wasteland built on lies
Mirrors of our fucking greed
Reflect of our vanity
Drowned in the crowd
Consumed by the world's effervescence
This whole system's a circus
I don't ever wanna come back down
Don't bring me back to the ground
Life looks better up here
Far from the noises of the world
(Far from the hell on the ground)
Don't bring me back down
(Let me get far away from, far away)
Far from the hell on the ground
