Born Again

Where the footsteps of one culture tread

the righteous still sing

as we march to the tune of "humanity's" hymn

a restless night awaits the dawn of a silent spring

our mythos and this way of life

have led us astray - disconnected

we've stepped outside the circle and into the reign

for they so loathe the world

children search for heavenly bliss

and abandon this sacred earth

damnation - the chance I am willing to take

for life everlasting I return to the womb

day by day - from birth

page by page - the script we enact

to an unsound story of conquest and glory

by a culture about to collapse

blood flows from the fountains

of bondage and brutality

(this captive earth to flood)

as one whom the mother caresseth

so will I comfort you

through every waking moment

the pleading whispers of mother culture

are spoken softly in my ears

begging me to turn my back

instead I shun her lies

with the truth of a newfound worldview

I'm deaf to salvation's cry

for they so loathe the world

children search for heavenly bliss

and abandon this sacred earth

damnation - the chance I am willing to take

for life everlasting I return to the womb

my blood for her blood, my breath for her breath

back into her arms, to the place we belong

mother culture reborn and I again to the earth

to break the chains, to give freedom a name

and put the life back in living
