Ze Is Van Mij [Brahim Idool2003]
Distort the mind
By their design
Won't be denied of our daily bread.
Communal pride
Recycled life
This sheds new light or will we wake up dead?
I'm your addict
Next in line
Would you mind?
A staple to the coarse
Erased your head.
Wind you down
And stamped you out
You played the fool but who would stop you now?
Graced by shame
Preordained.
Imperative
No time to live
Replace the skin
Does it weird you out?
The new regime
Planted the seed
Would you believe?
Would you believe it?
Graced by shame
By their design
Won't be denied of our daily bread.
Communal pride
Recycled life
This sheds new light or will we wake up dead?
I'm your addict
Next in line
Would you mind?
A staple to the coarse
Erased your head.
Wind you down
And stamped you out
You played the fool but who would stop you now?
Graced by shame
Preordained.
Imperative
No time to live
Replace the skin
Does it weird you out?
The new regime
Planted the seed
Would you believe?
Would you believe it?
Graced by shame
Green Children
[ 10,000 Maniacs ]
An Augist day in the hills of Spain,
a pair of children emerged from a cave.
The strangest sight there alone they stood,
with skin of green and words no one had heard.
The girl was stronger, the boy was weak,
with her new mother she learned to speak.
And wove a tale of a dying sun,
they had left darkness, a dark world come undone.
They travelled so far.
Believing they came from a star.
She fell through life, through time, through parallel lives.
The men of science, the men of fame,
the men of letters tried to explain:
Was it parallel worlds or a twist of time
to make her think she'd fallen from the sky?
A whirlwind spun them all alone,
took them from their twilight home.
Believing they came from a star.
