Princess Among Provinces Lyrics by So Long Forgotten

Things We Can See And Things We Cannot

2009

The sun sets pink, yellow, glorious
Shined on that city always reverent on its hill
But either we are too close or too great a distance
To see its foundations giving way
Its plants full of decay
But I could see, I could see, I could surely see
That crippled man every morning
Hungry, drunk, and homeless on my street
And I could hear, I could hear, I could surely hear
A thousand thirsty people calling
(But I will never be that crutch or that drink)
But if we rape and pillage the earth, take it for all that it’s worth and ring religion’s salvation bell
The sick and imprisoned will find liberation in robes and winе
And a hell far worse than the onе where they dwell
And I think I burnt my hands giving out fire and calling it a lamp
I gave armies swords to kill, an empire to build
And that solid crown, that mighty tower, I pray that it falls down
And it crushes me like a mustard seed and spreads me out
A field ripe for harvest
And I smell the stench of a million men, headed in my direction
And I hear the sound of their boots on the ground
Let’s plow the field with their weapons
Or just leave, let’s scale those walls, and just leave, we’ll just leave
But who holds and cradles the earth, and gives every bit of it’s worth?
Who raises us along with the dead?
The sick and imprisoned will find men’s systems won’t keep them
And they will have liberation in the end!
