Merkstave Lyrics by Panopticon

Collapse

0

It's cold on the outskirts of the fire
And we shiver in confusion
Greedily huddling for warmth, next to the dancing flames back to back, wallowing in shame
Isa......whose been cast and carved into the oak, our fear causes stillness
We are like the glass waters of an undisturbed pond
Petrified in our selfishness, only moving to satiate our own desires
And quench our own thirsts
Into the void we all fall
Abandon humanity as we abandon law
Away from bullets and fire
And bombs over head
Its easy to escape state oppression, but not to escape ourselves
To learn to live as one body, away from this capitalist hell
Poison runes.....Merkstave
The ink that smears your flesh
Branded with this human curse
To only care for ones self
It takes more than one tree to create the forests canopy...
How do we learn to live as one body and yet maintain our individual autonomy?
This war has just begun and the most deadly weapon is our own hands
When one of us falls in the field
(I will become your shield)
When one of us harvests the grain
(all of us will eat again)
When ever a child is born
(a warrior she will become)
When one of us ever is slain
(all of us will feel his pain)
